Overall a nice experience consistent with CH standards. Only critique: Three of us had margaritas which were very salty and sour. One was returned, one did not get consumed and I ultimately finished mine, but really did not enjoy.

This is such a quaint and dependable restaurant. An awesome setting with great food and attention to detail. Our server got off to a slow start, but was able to make strides by the end. Wine was not exactly at the right temperature, but our server made sure to cool both bottles down fairly quickly. Great experience!

We went there after we saw the Nutcracker. We were celebrating my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday and everything was excellent. Our reservations was made late and they made it special for my family. Food and service was fantastic!
