We had a Christmas Eve dinner at the Copper Grouse. The drink and dinner choices were varied and we each saw a number of items we would enjoy. The cheese board was tasty as was the arancini appetizer. Portions were very healthy and the sides were all delicious and well prepared. We wound up sharing bites amongst the table and everyone was stuffed when we finished. Service was very friendly and attentive and the restaurant had a good vibe. Only negative is, being in a hotel, there was a mix of kids watching videos on their ipads and couples out for a pre-holiday dinner. We have eaten here before and would definitely come back.

Maya had a sweater that looked just like the woman at the table next to us. It was very funny but she didn’t want to take a picture with the other woman. We had a lot of fun and the food was amazing.
