Cocktails before dinner, Manhattan and Old Fashion were great. Server was attentive, friendly and engaging. Food arrived promptly and was delicious. Went early on a holiday evening and atmosphere was upbeat and over dinner grew to modestly noisy though it never impacted conversation at the table. Holiday Pre-fixe menu was a bit on the pricey side but good value for a special event. Look forward to going again.
