We enjoyed our dinner very much. There are 2 rooms for seating. We ate in the quieter room. The room was decorated nicely for Christmas. We ordered 2 specials .. lamb chops and seafood fettuccine. Both were very good. All n all we had a great night.

Our girls holiday dinner was a success! The food was delicious and the service excellent. We brought our libations, and the staff was quick to help with opening our bottles as well as bringing a bucket of ice to table. This was my second time at this restaurant. I was not disappointed and will definitely return.
