Went here for family dinner on Xmas. Food was superb. Atmosphere was amazing. I had the Lamb shank. Meat fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. Definitely going back.

All of our food came out cold. They offered us two free deserts. So we paid for our cold dinners, but we received two deserts. Bad business. I will never recommend or go back to this restaurant.

More casual than I remember, and noiser with lots of families with young children (we were there on the early side). Think we sat downstairs last time and it was quieter.

I tried to make a reservation for 6 pm, but only 5:45 and 6:15 were available on Open Table. Ok, fine. But arriving at 6 pm anyway, the huge restaurant was nearly empty. The hostess was stressed, and couldn’t at first find the reservation, though she did reluctantly accommodate my request for a quiet table (which meant taking us to one of the several nearly empty rooms beyond the busy and noisy front room). The restaurant did fill up an hour or so later, but by then I was feeling like an interloper in a restaurant where I was not welcome. The service was fine, and the food good enough, though unremarkable. I’d call it expensive, somewhat soggy, mediocre pub food, trying to be fancy. Not worth the hype or the money.

Service was good and our server was particularly personable and accommodating. The appetizers were exceptional, and my husband’s and my lamb shanks were nicely done. However, my daughter’s short rib was overcooked and dry and the accompanying macaroni and cheese was cold. This was after the kitchen had sent out the wrong combination of our meals which the host quickly dealt with.

A wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner with family. Very attentive service. Loved the second floor room we were in. Delicious three course pre-fixe dinner. The hanging bacon, of course, was outstanding. The Brussels sprouts were another winner. My family enjoyed the turkey, the short ribs, the steak, and the ravioli. Nice options. I loved my butternut squash soup, my boulevardier, and the crème brûlée . Overall, a quality, memorable meal.
