This is a great place for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Two things they don't have is live music ie. guitarist and a large bread selection. biscuits, bagels, rolls, but no banana bread, wheat bread, crackers and cheese or different bagels other than plane. That would be the difference between under $50.00 a head and over $60.00 a head. For being under $50 a head, what they have is great Between the two seatings in 2024, there were less people signed up for Christmas than Thanksgiving. It was almost elbow to elbow to walk around at that seating.

Great service, ambience and all food and drink! We went for Christmas Eve dinner and had 4 different dishes and drinks… everything was so good. All wait staff were super friendly and helpful. We had the rosemary beignets to start, then lamb, chicken-fried steak, trout and pork chop. We had espresso martinis and old fashions. We split the chocolate beignets and winterberry cheesecake for dessert. Can’t wait to return!

My wife and I had a great experience from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted and seated immediately after walking in the door. Our waitress did a fantastic job explaining any questions that we had. Our food come out fresh and in the perfect time. We had plenty of time to enjoy our appetizer and our meal it self. We never felt rushed and enjoyed the evening.
