This was the first year ever that I have dined out on Christmas Eve so I was extremely nervous about the level of food and service on the holiday. I’m so happy that my nerves were wrong. The food and the service were outstanding and on the same level as a normal RPM experience. We walked in and it was so busy but the hostesses were so calm and very warm, friendly and welcoming. The service all around was so attentive. My parents were raving at the level of service on such a busy evening . Thank you for such a wonderful holiday dinner and experience.

Amazing experience. Food and service were on another level. After each delicate course, I was left wanting more which is ingenious because now I have to come back again. Darn. Thank you SHIA.
