    We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving dinner. The food was all delicious.We ordered from both the regular and special Thanksgiving menu. Our food took longer than expected due to an unexpected glitch, but our server, Audrey, and the management took very good care of us. We had so much fun enjoying the lively atmosphere. I can't wait to return. Thanks for being open on a holidsy.

    We were seated 10 minutes early for our 1pm reservation. Out server arrived at our table immediately and greeted us. We put in drink orders then when she came with those we ordered our appetizer and meal. We thought it might take a bit of time as the place was full but it was all out quickly. Ordered thr pot pie and braised beef and both good. This is where service got slow but I think they seated 3 or 4 new tables in her area at once so she was busy. Ordered thr mint cheesecake and that was amazing. Bill was $80 plus tax so not really bad for 2 people to have a nice meal with drinks and dessert. The tree and Christmas decorations were beautiful and we lucked out and were seated near the tree. Will make it a tradition each year to go back. Lucked out on the reservation because we missed it when it opened. So glad we got one!
