Busy time of the year but the staff handled it well. Food is always good and consistent. Definitely get a reservation so you don't have to wait too long. Our server was very nice and positive considering how busy it was, very professional.

Our server (sorry- don’t have her name!) was excellent. She had bright red lipstick/ dark hair (if that helps!). Great experience all around.

Wonderful evening last night. The duck soup & grapefruit salad starters were on point! The entrees were equally delicious...swordfish was the best ever, lamb shank was so tender & mild-but add the red chile jus & flavor pops! We shared a Paso red & a Chard to go with. Dessert was a flourless chocolate torte-so good! Thank you for a wonderful date night!
