We came in for an alternative to a typical Thanksgiving Dinner. The warm and welcoming service and environment was a perfect and pleasant surprise. The pork chop was tasty, the braised short ribs was flavorful and the striped Mexican Sea Bass was delicious. We ordered the sides of brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese, and asparagus, which complimented our main courses. The wines were delicious too! It was a great Thanksgiving Dinner!

We usually avoid dining out on holidays because the food and service can suffer with the crowds. I have to say that our experience on Thanksgiving was excellent. Our server, Gerael, was wonderful and the food was too. We had a fantastic evening!

Great to find a place open on Thanksgiving that has their normal menu and not some overpriced “specials” only. Good food, good service, pleasant atmosphere. That’s what I call a good value.
