Excellent dinner tonight to celebrate Christmas. Our main server, Jory, was outstanding. So was his teammate - just can't remember her name. The team was both attentive when needed and stayed away when they weren't needed to give us space. Group of 5 - we all had steaks - 3 orders of filet mignon, one bone in filet and a bone in ribeye. Sides and steaks arrived hot - cooked just as everyone wanted. We had a few appetizers - burrata, bacon and carpaccio. Not much room for dessert - except for a soufflé. Outstanding meal - great service and excellent food. Will return after the new year - a lot of interesting items on the menu for us to explore.
