    Fantastic! The restaurant was all decked out for Christmas and I must say they did a magnificent job with the decor this year! Just beautiful from the outside through to the inside. We had a wonderful table by the window with a great view for miles and miles. Our server was the best; attentive and timely throughout our courses. Our cuts of prime rib were perfect and the sides delicious! The popovers were fully puffed and the fresh baked bread divine. Just a glorious late Christmas 🎄 dinner with good friend!

    We visited on Christmas Eve so the crowd was expected but overall an amazing experience! The bread with the oil and vinegar dip was so tasty. The added chili flakes gave it more flavor. I ordered the linguini Vongole (I can’t remember the name) and it was so delicious! I wish I had a spoon to drink the remaining sauce! My best friend who is very picky about Italian food loved her dish as well! She had the past with the shrimp and crab. The drinks were good. The tiramisu was excellent. So happy we came here for Christmas Eve dinner. Will definitely go back!
