Outstanding display of holiday decor accompanied by 3 world class dishes or duck, beef tenderloin and Risotto. The duck was tops and one of the best duck dishes I’ve eaten in quite some time. Well done, Geist!

Nice neighborhood restaurant. Casual setting with good ambiance. I dropped my date off and went to park the car. When I came in although there were two people at the hostess desk they just pointed me in the general direction of our table. Service was attentive but did not rush us as we made it into a 2 1/2 hour get together with another couple.

Fantastic food AND service. Atmosphere was extremely nice. Twinkling lights and decorated for the holidays. Our server and the rest of the service team was fantastic. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. The food was even better than last time I was there, and that visit was hard to beat. Will def be a repeat customer!
