Great food and service. The Brussel sprouts as an appetizer were the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was tender and full of flavor. Had the cobbler for desert with pecan ice cream. Everything was delicious and server was friendly and knowledgeable.

Everything was great. I didn't realize there was an 18% service charge because it was Christmas; I didn't recall seeing anything in Open Table when I booked the reservation. The folks at the table next to me weren't aware of the 18% service charge either. That didn't include gratuity (tip for the server)! Add that to over 20% tip and it's 40% added to the price of the dinner, which adds a lot. Makes for a surprise amount when you weren't aware!!
