This was our first time coming to the restaurant and we will definitely be back. We came on Christmas Eve for their special menu. It was absolutely delicious. I had the clam chowder, Chilean sea bass with gorgonzola risotto and cheesecake for dessert.

Our experience was wonderful. My party of twelve was seated upstairs to afford us a little more privacy and the ambiance was percect. The service was attentive without being intrusive and they were always near if a request for something popped up. The food was excellent with a menu that offered enough options to offer tantalizing decisions that had me wanting to order more than one entre'. We will be going back!
