Given our long-standing friendship and patronage, it's natural to feel comfortable entrusting them to deliver their signature excellence, resulting in outstanding service, quality, and culinary delights for our family celebration of 9 for Thanksgiving. Marko consistently delivers flawless service, and Scottie, in his managerial capacity, ensured our family's requirements were met, taking particular care with our two elderly parents in wheelchairs. Additionally, other skilled servers, including Ryan and Tyler, provided intermittent check-ins. If you’re thinking about dining here, do it, you won’t be disappointed!!

This was my first time experiencing Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant. The service was excellent. Our waitress, Gabby was so pleasant and professional. She did an outstanding job. The food was delicious. The dessert was incredible. The cheesecake was so big they had to serve it on a dinner plate. Very nice experience overall. I’ll probably do it again next year for Thanksgiving as well.
