                            Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The historical elements of the space make it special and interesting. For example, we were seated at a table beside a showcase that contained the dueling guns of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. I loved that. The food was delicious, too!

                            Absolutely incredible Christmas Day meal. If you’ve never been to this restaurant you have to treat yourself and go there. The food is incredible, the service is spectacular, and the atmosphere is perfect.
