A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

We were shown to a table that was too close to the window for our liking and were immediately given a different one. One of our favorite waiters greeted us and our assigned waiter graciously allowed him to be our waiter. He let us get settled and then took our beverage and appetizer orders. They were excellent as always. He paced his service to our desires. We both ordered the scallop special. It was perfect. Perfectly seared and the roasted vegetables and purees were a wonderful accompaniment. The bread was crusty and warm. We were also able to greet other favorite servers and felt totally welcomed.
