As always impeccable service! Excited to make the tree lighting a yearly tradition to kick off the holiday season. The parking was abysmal I would recommend hiring more valet drivers for such massive events in the future ;D

The staff was exceptionally great during our last visit. Every single member of the staff checked in and were so nice and accommodating. The food and drinks are always superb and even though it was cold out the heaters were blazing and made it comfortable. The lamb humus and the pear brie pizza was soooo delicious. Oh and they have gluten free pizza dough which is huge for me. I’m a fan I’m of this restaurant.
