Amazing holiday classic! The decor is just amazing- beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was equally amazing. We had the tomahawk steak special with three included sides. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. The lobster Mac and cheese and vegetables were delicious and the presentation was worthy of photos which didn’t do it justice. The service was friendly but efficient. We will be back.

The 5p seating with the theater prex fixe was spot on! The burrata and endive salad were very well done, and the chicken and steak were perfect. Well timed, good value, professional service - and we were check closed and exiting the restaurant at 630, in perfect time to walk to our show. Definitely recommend (and I’m hard to please).

Booked back in July, and got there and didn’t have a table due to company Christmas parties. They finally fit us in later.
