    Wanted someplace nice to have Thanksgiving dinner and celebrate our anniversary. We enjoyed the limited menu for the holiday, and Darran our server did an excellent job. We were seated on the third floor, and appreciated that tables were not too close together and the sound level was low so you could have a conversation. The Harvest Dinner was plentiful, providing a sample of all the traditional Thanksgiving sides. I had the prime rib, and it was well seasoned and cooked to medium rare. Brought dessert home with us, will try that later! Will definitely be back sometime.

    The Thanksgiving meal was adequate. The food was barely warm. We had a four person party and all ordered the Thanksgiving dinner. One dinner was missing a side dish. Not a problem since the missing dish was brought out promptly but it made us question the attention to detail of the kitchen staff. Also bread was not brought to the table until we asked for it. We were also seated at a less than desirable location; third floor in the back when we had made reservations months ago. All in all, it was a disappointing experience as compared to the previous year. We plan on returning next Thanksgiving but we will request better seating and maybe this was just a one off for the restaurant.

    Another wonderful Thanksgiving meal! Olivia was our server and she was helpful and attentive. She was facing a long day of serving but was incredibly cheerful! The harvest platter is enormous! Tasty turkey and ham along with perfect sides. Needless to say, we have leftovers! A lovely place to celebrate Thanksgiving. Feeling thankful!
