    We had a fantastic experience at Rapscallion for our mom’s birthday! They were so attentive to detail - a birthday card was waiting on the table, the waiter said happy birthday as they greeted us, a birthday treat for dessert. It was all incredible - and to top it off the food was delicious, the place was decorated for Christmas and so cozy! Highly reccomend this restaurant especially to celebrate a special day!
