Worst food ever. 175/person for Christmas. Low quality. Scam. Had the “duck,” more likely 3 dollar Ralph’s chicken. Dry, and not duck. Total bill, $575.00. With $86.09 mandatory gratuity. Lamb, 16 oz was not worthy formy for my dog. Total scam!

From the minute we walked in, everything was great. The host was super friendly and took us right to our table. Several people came by for various reasons…menus, etc. Beth was our main server. Very pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. Food was amazing. It came in very generous portions. We will go back!

Not only was the food excellent, the service was impeccable. It’s been a long time since we’ve been to a restaurant where the wait staff has been properly trained to only remove the plates when all have finished eating their courses and avoid stacking the dishes at the table. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated. Thank you for a great dining experience.
