Excellent Thanksgiving day meal. Everything was delicious from the assortment of breads and butters and jam to the desserts. Even though it was quite busy, all the food came out fresh, hot, and prepared as requested. I would definitely go back!

Amazing service from everyone, from the people who greet you at the door to the people who serve the food to people just passing by as you walk. We had a big group and they were very accommodating. The food was excellent— risotto was creamy, short rib was tender, and the toffee pudding was a perfect end to a great meal.
