We went on Thanksgiving. Our server was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. We brought home lots of leftovers! We were not rushed at all. The courses were brought out in a timely manner. The prices were a little on the high side but the quality and amount made it well worth it. We'll definitely go back!

This was my first time experiencing Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant. The service was excellent. Our waitress, Gabby was so pleasant and professional. She did an outstanding job. The food was delicious. The dessert was incredible. The cheesecake was so big they had to serve it on a dinner plate. Very nice experience overall. I’ll probably do it again next year for Thanksgiving as well.
