We were there mid afternoon Christmas Day. It wasn’t to crouched and the service was good. Food was great. They have a nice patio dining area and an open air bar that were fairly quiet, but I did notice inside was kind of noisy due to all hard surfaces. Overall very nice experience.

Our reservation was at 2:00pm but we arrived early thinking we would sit in the bar area and have a drink. They accommodated and seated us right away. Everyone was very polite and helpful. Our Waiter was very knowledgeable and the wait times for drinks, dinner, etc. was very short. Food and drinks were excellent.
