    Although it was a busy time - Christmas day, the restaurant accommodated customers with a gracious reception. Even people who had no reservations were graciously accommodate. The menu was well formulated to accommodate most price ranges. I was especially happy with my selection which was the three course holiday menu. The food was delicious, ample helping and nicely arranged.

    It was an exceptional overall experience. It was amazing not only restaurant was open, but they served special festive menu for Christmas Eve! The food was delicious, and manager himself made a Tableside Torched Apple Manhattan. I only feel the courses were rushed and there should have been sometime between each course to enjoy and savor dishes. Especially, dessert was brought while we had not finished the main course.

    Delightful Christmas Eve dinner. Highly recommend the Peach Bourbon Mule to start with. Probably the creamiest burrata we’ve ever had. Chicken Parm…fabulous. The filet cooked perfectly. Don’t miss the bread pudding!

    Why have we never gone there? Blown away by the food. We had Oyster Rockefeller, seafood chowder and grouper for the main course. We split the main dish and it was brought out separately for us. Nice selection of wine. Waitress was superb. We will be back for sure.
