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!

It’s was a great time. We sat outside under a heater so even on a cool Nov night it was too cold or hot. The food was good as well. Our waiter was kind but addressed my date as sir and just didn’t address me much. I guess he knew I wasn’t pay lol but overall a good time

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.
