    Food and service was great on a busy Christmas Eve night. We had the special shrimp bisque and disappointed there was very little to no shrimp, just seemed like tomato soup. Our main dish was amazing! The chefs pasta with mushrooms, sausage and smoked Gouda sauce was wonderful, we used bread to soak up every last bite.

    We had Christmas Eve dinner here and it was wonderful. Terrific service, varied choices on the Prix Fixe menu - seafood, beef and pork. The portions of each course were generous. The wait staff were warm and attentive, even though the restaurant was extremely busy. We did not feel rushed or forgotten. The key lime pie was delicious :) Would hughly recommend.
