We came here for a Thanksgiving lunch as a party of 10. From the beginning we were treated with excellent customer service. We spoke with Frank, the owner, on several occasions as he checked on how we were doing. The chef personally came out to discuss an allergy we had at our table. Our waiter, Santiago, was very attentive throughout our meal. Tjey offers a special Thanksgiving menu and a modified a la carte menu. The food was excellent, and served in a timely manner. After this experience we will definitely return to sample their full menu.
