My friends and I have been enjoying Christmas dinners at Sette for many years. Today was even better than usual, with good food and generous portions, attentive service, and a nice holiday vibe from start to finish. Prices are a little higher than they used to be, but hey, that's happening everywhere. My friends are eager to go to Sette again ASAP in 2025.
