I was able to snag a last minute reservation for the thanksgiving meal and it was a great experience. I was seated promptly. Service was excellent and the food was very delicious. The icing on the cake was my seat was in perfect view of a basketball game that I wanted to watch. Thanks for a perfect solo thanksgiving meal.

The food was over the top amazing! I had the chopped Duke salad with scallops and shrimp and my husband had the cioppino which he said was the best he’d ever had. Service was excellent. Only downside for me was the noise level which was intense. Guess it’s because it’s such a popular place but really wish there was a way to make it less noisy. I don’t know how other popular restaurants do it. I honestly think that we would have eaten there again tonight since we were still in the area, but I couldn’t stomach the noise.
