Holly was a professional who provided very good service to the table. We had a lovely table with a great view of the city and the multicolored lit trees outside. The ambience was awesome-- modern and immaculate with a sense of spaciousness. Even more important, the menu was pretty well marked for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options (although there are some misleading GF labels that should be labeled as GFO). Our entrees were truly delicious -- even our fussy grandsons were impressed. It was a memorable GF birthday experience for my husband.

Absolutely Fantastic! The holiday decorations inside and out were over-the-top beautiful. The staff from Amber the hostess, Joe the manager, and our server Jillian were the best. A special thank you to owner, Mr. George who was so kind and generous. All the food was truly outstanding! Please try to get there to enjoy the stunning holiday lights … truly a special treat!

A fantastic dinner in a beautifully holiday-decorated dining room. All four of us had wonderful meals, and the service was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. This is a special place, and we have dined here several times previously. It has become a favorite for a family holiday dinner outing.
