Delicious meal- Thanksgiving Dinner- yummy. mom ordered off the menu- seafood arrabiatta. She loved it. Service was wonderful. Arnie our server was so sweet and attentive but not overly so. we were greeted at the door so nicely- felt they were happy we came in and they said goodbye and thanked us- even though they were very busy the cappuccino was actually hot! so many places can't seem to serve HOT cappuccino! it was very busy but we did not feel rushed. love the ambiance- sexy, sophisticated vibe but not stuffy. A bit loud but not as bad as some places I've been. Thank you for a great Thanksgiving! we'll be back! my birthday's coming up.

Our group of 4 started with the seasonal board which was delicious but did not come with enough toast. We were able to order more for an up charge. The burgers and sandwiches were huge and impossible to finish but were so good. Our waitress was attentive throughout. I would eat here again if I was in the area.
