The show our Chef Anders put on was incredible. The kids were in awe and he definitely kept them entertained. We came on Christmas so even with a reservation we weren’t seated until about an hour later. That’s how busy it was. They have a surprising amount of seating at this location though. I’m sure that wouldn’t be an issue on a normal day. Food was of course fresh and delicious! We really enjoyed our Family Christmas outing

The most pace was amazing, great atmosphere. The food was good but the service lacked a lot to be desired. I understand it was Christmas Eve but it was lacking. The server was nice and polite but we waited several minutes for drinks, drink refills and other things.

We dined on Christmas Eve and it was a very special experience. The four course prix fixe menu had excellent choices to satisfy everyone in our group. The wine selection is extensive and the sommelier was very helpful. The wait staff is very attentive, professional and friendly. We loved the food and the relaxing way to spend the holiday.

It wasn’t cheap but it was worth it. I had one of the best prime ribs I’ve ever had, the arachina primavera were so good we’re thinking of going back just for those this weekend. It’s a special occasion place or a great date night out.
