    One note: 7pm reservation. Arrived 5 minutes early. Went to bar to wait for table as instructed. No contact of any kind from front desk until 8:05pm. That lack of communication is inexcusable. We ate at the bar and were served an excellent meal promptly by a friendly bartender.

    Had a late Christmas Eve lunch. Everything was exceptional, service, food and cocktails were all perfect+. Giuseppe, our server, could not have done more to makes us feel welcome and take care of us. The restaurant even served complimentary Snickerdoodles for the day - sweet touch. Thank you, Lockkeepers, for such excellence with your food and staff and being open on Christmas Eve. We look forward to our next visit.
