We came for a friend lunch for Christmas time. The place was beautiful. We had a table away from the main room and we could laugh and talk and not disturb anyone. The drinks were delicious and the lunch special menu had a wide variety of choices. I was thrilled to find a place that still adds anchovies to a Ceasar salad. Everyone enjoyed their food/ drinks/ desserts and the service was terrific. We weren't rushed and had a great time.
