As always, everything was amazing. I had the short rib and it was so flavor and delicious. Their martinis are the best. I had Comfortably Numb. I give a shout out to Todd who always greets us by name and will stop by our table to chat. To Rachel who was our server and took good care of us. To Stephen and Marcelo, the best bartenders. Always a good time sitting at the bar and having these two to talk to.

We ordered the Thanksgiving special. Was slightly disappointed with the turkey it was more of a processed turkey not a turkey breast. The side dishes were delicious, the spiced bread pudding dessert was fabulous and the cocktails were spot on. The staff was as usual very attentive.
