Considering that we visited on Thanksgiving, it was somewhat noisier than usual and the service was under par, which had to do with one server who seemed socially awkward, forgetful, and not the sharpest tool in the drawer. The food, however, was as fresh and tasty as I’ve come to expect, so I’ll be back.

Very busy due to Macy’s balloon blow up- received our food all at one time before we got our drinks! Blamed the service on busy service. Rushed service.

We were there for dinner for my daughter’s 18th birthday, which was noted when I made reservation on Open Table. No mention of her birthday nor a candle in her dessert was added. I was also quite surprised when I ordered my dinner, to have the waiter roll his eyes when I asked for my sausage well done. The experience would have been so much better, if waiter was more personable and pleasant …. Food was good.
