    We always enjoy the Christmas Eve experience at this location. They have a special menu for the holiday and live jazz.

    The waiter was very good and accommodating to my daughter’s gluten allergy. He was very kind and made our time very festive and special. Thank you for a special Christmas Eve.

    It took nearly two and a half hours to have dinner. The meal was excellent, but our service was cringe-worthy. The whole experience was bizarre. Definitely a birthday to remember!

    A great place to take out-of-town guests. Love the view, the food, and the wait staff are there when you need them but gone when you want to be left alone.

    Our server was great, food was ok not great, all in all good except for when the manager came over to remind us about the 2 hour minimum stay, which I already knew about because they sent me what feels like a million emails about it. Seems like after that we felt rushed to finish, mind you we were sitting outside and for the last 30 minutes there was 4 open tables outside, so not sure the reason for the manager to come remind us then rush us to finish our meals.
