We decided to eat out for Thanksgiving. We had a reservation for 2 pm and despite the large crowd, we were seated withing minutes. All the staff members were polite, kind and eagar to please. They made the experience extra special. The food was very good and service was great. It was worth the money and we would definately go again.

Our friends ordered the Monkfish Special and smiled as they cleaned their plates. The ribs were excellent as was the grilled salmon -- both portions too big to be consumed in one sitting. We took leftovers home to enjoy another day.
