Great food! Great service! Rico was a great server. Did Thanksgiving there tonight and plan to do it again. Moist sliced turkey, with their signature Brussel sprouts and all the trimmings, including stuffing, mashed taters and a perfect cranberry sauce. We’ve been several times and the food has always been stellar, with one small exception being the pumpkin Oreo cheesecake, which was a bit hard and dry on the top layer of cheesecake. But Rico made it right by treating us to the chocolate lava cake with salted caramel sauce over vanilla ice cream, which was the bomb! Perfectly indulgent.

What a beautiful spot! The ambiance was incredible. The service was spot on. And the food was even better. Our table had a variety of salads, fish entree and steak and everyone was so happy. We celebrated a birthday and they made it extra special. Can’t wait to go back.
