   We dined on Christmas Day. It was pretty busy which was expected. They were able to accommodate us earlier than our reservation and I appreciated that. However the food was awful. We started with the bread service, then shared a wedge salad. The wedge was wet if that makes sense. It was like they washed the lettuce and left the water in it. Next the entrees we ordered both came out wrong. My husband ordered the salmon well done. It was undercooked and bland. I ordered the NY strip medium well. My steak was rare. Next the sides were Brussel sprouts and the lobster mashed potatoes. The Brussels had more meat than Brussels. My husband said the mashed potatoes were soupy and had bitter pieces of lobster. Overall not a good experience for Christmas. The night prior we stopped in for the butter cake which was delicious! I wouldn't recommend dinner but dessert and drinks are a must here.

   Great service, food was ok for the price, noisy atmosphere. Labeled as fine dining, customers were in sneakers, Tshirts.

   Crab cakes were a mix of crab and fish. Good thing my wife knows the difference. Had to return the crab cakes since I do not eat fish. They crammed every table they could into the restaurant. We could literally eat with the folks at the next table. It was Christmas Eve, so the crowd was expected. We had the Crème Brûlée however, it was rather runny.

   It's a great place with a lot if energy in the bar. We were a little concerned about the noise level in the bar on a busy holiday night but the acoustics were great. We even had a nice conversation with the people sitting next to us. You just can't go wrong sitting in the bar listening to the music surrounded by the most interesting people in the valley while enjoying a great selection of cocktails and epicurean delights .

   While the steaks were not cooked at the temps requested, it was not worth sending back mine was acceptable the other was not but still ate it and was still pretty enjoyable. Cesar salad with the very stale croutons was a miss, the scalloped potatoes were amazing. My cocktail was not ok but again, drank it, just was not worth complaining about. Overall it was good, been several times before. Will go back but no rush.

   The food was great, glad that the scalloped potatoes are back on the menu, and improved. We had the sea bass and filet with broccolini l, French onion soup and the potatoes. Was disappointed that the corkage fee is up over 120% vs last time we brought a bottle. Would have chosen to leave the bottle at home and skip the uber rides back and forth.
