   Elegant and modern yet relaxed and comfortable ambiance, prompt, friendly, and attentive service, and very well prepared and delicious food. And, a wonderful drink and wine selection.

   Really nothing special about this place. Way too pricey for what they’re offering. Save your money go somewhere else.

   The wait service was almost non-existent and the food took forever to arrive after we order it. To top it all off the gratuity was included in the bill.

   The food was cold and undercooked. The bread I ordered was not even heated up.

   The food was truly awful. There were 4 of us, we all ordered different dishes, and all of the dishes were equally terrible. The total bill for the 4 of us was $410, which is quite expensive for food that is worse than a roadside diner. We basically walked away hungry because we could not eat any of the dishes.

   The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. That was the highlight of the experience. Food took a really long time to come out, which made sense because they were very busy. However, we had to repeatedly ask for water and it took like 30 minutes to get some. The atmosphere is pretty but the dog policy was very distracting. As it was Christmas Eve, they had the grinch and a snowman walking around, causing many dogs to freak out. They were loud and stressed out, making it difficult to enjoy our meal as the environment caused a sensory overload. Overall, it was fine. The food was okay, not great. Probably won’t be back but if you are looking for a pet friendly place with lots of ambiance, it’s probably a good option.

    Enjoyed the festive Christmas atmosphere. Carolers were great! Prime rib was perfect.
