We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration there yesterday. Everything was fantastic, food was delicious, fresh and tasty. The drinks also very good. The Pumpkin Cheesecake was out of this world. Our special table was beautifully decorated with dazzling sparkling Fall Thanksgiving decorations and a nice ambiance by a candle lamp. We had the pleasure of having our favorite server there, Pack. She is phenomenal, nice, pleasant, friendly, with a beautiful smile and on point with everything. She is always very attentive and we have nice conversation with her. She is the best! Awesome service all around at this restaurant, always. The House and our wonderful server offered us a Champagne Toast at the end, it was so nice and unexpected. Thank you for making our Holiday special and memorable. We'll be back again soon.

I love when you are greeted and seated with professionalism. The waitress suggested some great choices. I choose the Brussel Sprout salad, it was large and wonderful. I didn't think I could eat the whole thing, but I did. My friend enjoyed her burger, the fries were good too. Since it wasn't too crowded, we were able to sit and relax. Thanks for a great afternoon.
