    Very impressed with the food and service at Remingtons. It was our first time, we went before a show. We had the ribeye and loaded potato and Brussels sprouts plus shrimp appetizers. Everything was fantastic. It’s a lovely atmosphere and service was spot on.

    Lex our server was fabulous from start to finish! He explained the starters and entrees beautifully. We got the braised short ribs which were flavorful and tender just as described. It was our first time, from the host warmly greeting us while they gave the kids a stuffie each. The girls ordered from the kids menu which gave them a beautiful mug to take home! The fairy that went our granting wishes was truly magical! And to top it all off they took complimentary family photo to remember the outing. Definitely will be back and start a new family Christmas tradition! Thank you again Lex and staff for making it a very special and memorable evening!
