    Wonderful Xmas Eve celebration Ambiance from lobby employs greetings to host & of course our wauter Thomas was extremely professional attentive & very personalized service. He even took his time helping us take family photo!! A heater was provided without question as some restaurants do not have enough heaters; we were thrilled as we would have had to leave as it was too cold on balcony without it & therefore everything was perfect, as usual. Delicious nachos, fried chicken & “Craft cocktails” were superior! Thank you & merry Christmas!!
