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

Celebrated our 7 year anniversary and the hostess seated us right by the olive tree. It was a magical night with even a candle on top of our banana tiramisu bread pudding - wow. Thank you for being part of our special day :)
