We attended the thanksgiving dinner and it was outstanding. Our server, Mary was amazing. Earlier in the day, I had drinks and an appetizer at the bar and again, both were incredible. Lauren, my server, was great and very friendly.

Lea was our server and she was exceptional! Professional and personable. Made great suggestions for our meal and complimentary to what we were looking to eat. It was fantastic and made us quickly forget we were sat 15 minutes past our reservation. Chase and the hostess were apologetic, especially because we were crammed against the bar waiting for our table. The place was electric!! All dishes were divine and the only critique was the quality of noodles used for the special pasta dish of the evening—the one with mushrooms and blueberries. The pasta felt more like ramen than fresh pasta. We will be back!
