    Though it was a busy Christmas Eve, our server, Haley, provided wonderful as did Paul and Arturo. My husband I shared the Beet & Arugula salad and Shrimp Cocktail. The sauce served with the shrimp was fabulous, spicy with a nice kick of horseradish. The salad was lightly dressed with a champagne vinaigrette along with goat cheese…yum. For entrees we ordered roasted pork tenderloin with mustard sauce and shaved Brussels sprouts along with the Braised Sort Rib over garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert we finished with Banana Tart. Food is consistently delicious and inventive.

    We had the bacon and octopus appetizer and they were fabulous. The Caesar salad with salmon was ok, did not have a lot of flavor. The steak and lobster tail was very good as well as the table side bananas foster.
