Thanksgiving dinner was the best! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, cranberry sauce, carrots and corn bread. A crab cake to start and pumpkin pie to finish. Great service, historic venue. Couldn't ask for anything better!

Food was great. Almost everything on the menu was gluten free which was amazing. The place is very nice inside, but we were sat in a dark area which was a little hard to see. Also a little hard to hear each other talk from the noise of other people seating close to us. Service was decent.

The hostess was welcoming, attentive & all around fabulous...we ordered the buratta & the meatballs which was delicious, the Brussel sprouts were was too Al dente, the branzino was wonderful although small & the flavor of my steak was great but I'm one who from experience won't send a steak back when under cooked at a restaurant that's crazy busy, how a chef or server cannot see the difference between medium rare and medium well & delivers it after specifically being told no pink, no red, no blood is beyond me. Had I not waited on line behind 6 ppl to use the one bathroom I would have been there when my entree arrived. Without asking the server spoke to the manager & had the steak removed which was very thoughtful, however I would have preferred to eat my entree with my partner since it was our anniversary. We'll definitely try again on our next trip back home as everything else about this place was beautiful.
