    Wanted someplace nice to have Thanksgiving dinner and celebrate our anniversary. We enjoyed the limited menu for the holiday, and Darran our server did an excellent job. We were seated on the third floor, and appreciated that tables were not too close together and the sound level was low so you could have a conversation. The Harvest Dinner was plentiful, providing a sample of all the traditional Thanksgiving sides. I had the prime rib, and it was well seasoned and cooked to medium rare. Brought dessert home with us, will try that later! Will definitely be back sometime.

    Always a great dining experience! Our server, Israel was excellent. John, the owner stopped by to say hello which is always impressive! We were celebrating an anniversary, and it’s always neat to receive a call from Arleen to be sure that our special event is celebrated at the restaurant.
