We had an amazing server called Olena. The food as always was top notch. I had the octopus to start and then the squid ink seafood pasta. Both were great.

Penny, at the front desk, was having a very busy Christmas lunch hour but she and others assisting her maintained very good humors. Savanah was our waitress was friendly and interested in talking with us when she could, considering how busy the floor was too. providing food tips. I haven't had Cream of Cauliflower soup before (not a big fan of cauliflower but I don't hate it either) and I took a flyer on a cup. I was really glad I did - it was delicious! My date, Robbie, had a taste and immediately ordered a cup for herself. She also had a very nice-looking Caesar salad with a cheese crostini and cherry tomatoes. I had 2 tasty Birria Tacos, less greasy than others I've had, and which seemed to be popular on other plates. Parmesan fries accompanied, but Truffle fries were also available at an additional charge. We shared a seasonal cheesecake, also delicious, with brown sugar and large chunks of apples.
