Great food! Great service! Rico was a great server. Did Thanksgiving there tonight and plan to do it again. Moist sliced turkey, with their signature Brussel sprouts and all the trimmings, including stuffing, mashed taters and a perfect cranberry sauce. We’ve been several times and the food has always been stellar, with one small exception being the pumpkin Oreo cheesecake, which was a bit hard and dry on the top layer of cheesecake. But Rico made it right by treating us to the chocolate lava cake with salted caramel sauce over vanilla ice cream, which was the bomb! Perfectly indulgent.

Food was served cold. The vegetable for the meal and cranberry sauce was served 15 minutes after meal started. Server apologized. Server could have been more attentive. All and all didn't feel special for the holiday. Ambiance was excellent. Wine was excellent.

We should of sent our first round of drinks back as they were like half the volume of a normal drink. The second round proved that as they were twice the amount of the 1st ones - yet just the normal size one would expect. Food was good, service was too. Vibe was upbeat!

I love this place but the last visit was very subpar. They were out of oysters/sashimi very early in the evening and the service could have been far better.
