    Loved the festive decorations and sparkling lights on scale with the large space. The appetizer was on our table when we were seated. A pleasant cup of crab bisque was just enough so that we could still have room for our entree. We both ordered the prime rib ( a huge slab each done exactly as requested), fluffy baked potato, and crispy snap peas. Our server was delightful who kept a perfect pace and checked back with us often. Given it was Christmas Eve and both restaurants were packed, the service and staff were amazing, friendly, calm, and well organized. We truly appreciated the holiday, uplifting atmosphere, good food, and excellent service. What a professional, well planned and smooth operation for an impressive number of diners. Thank you!

    Incredible service! So nice and helpful as this was our first visit. All of her recommendations were spot on. The artichoke didn’t stand a chance as our kids caught on the ended up devouring it. Our group had a pizza, pomegranate salad special, their pasta special with shaved truffles, and the sliders. Their craft cocktails are well done and her recommendation for an Italian white was money. No room for dessert. Must try if you’re passing through.
