The vegetarian sushi was really good. We paired it with champagne. We also ordered the mac&cheese and added a mushroom side and it was really good paired with Cabernet Sauvignon. The Lounge area is beautifully decorated for the Holidays. Service is exceptional.

Thanksgiving was good. Squash soup was excellent. Cheese platter was ok. Bread was excellent. Turkey was moist but overall the plate was just ok. I would have liked to have sweet potatoes of some kind and cranberry dressing on the side as I hate them and it was all over everything. Great cocktails and service as usual.

We moved tables once because the people next to us were extremely loud. We were moved into a beautiful room, but there was a large party in there who were also loud. It was definitely not easy to have a conversation with older people. We like this restaurant but probably won’t come again if there are more than 4 of us.
