Lovely place and friendly service. Food a bit spicy! Apps and desserts were amazing. Great place to go for a "nice" meal that isn't crazy $$ (though not inexpensive). Great menu items and fun cocktails though we didn't try any. Plenty of parking and takes reservations so very convenient.

It was really great. It was our first Thanksgiving at a restaurant, and the food was so good, our server (I think her name was Kylie) was so nice, and we all were happy.
