Came for Thanksgiving dinner. This restaurant is absolutely one of the best dining experiences I've had in many years! The ambiance and decor was so comfortable yet upscale. The service was great and the food was fantastic! We drove an hour to get to the restaurant and will certainly do it again on future visits to the area.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving lunch. The hostess was kind enough to find us a quiet corner booth that was perfect for four seniors, especially our 92 year old mother. Bruce, our server was attentive without being intrusive. We all had fresh fish that was perfectly prepared and delicious.
