We do Charlie Gitto's every Christmas Eve...late seating. This year the knocked out of of the park. Wine Steward have excellent advice for our tastes and the Filet Nunzio was simply the best... with the added sautéed mushrooms. Service was friendly and attentive and having fun on Christmas Eve. A real treat.

Food was excellent and service of high quality. People seated after us were served before we were, which was strange. Perhaps it was because there were 6 of us and only two of them. But it was the same waiter who facilitated that timing. I found that annoying but his efforts on other fronts was very good.
