                                                      We went for the first time in Christmas Eve. The restaurant is beautiful inside. We went early, after church. I have a special needs son and they were able to accommodate his food. He was probably a little too loud toward the end of dinner so I apologize if you were in the restaurant l with us. But, no one said anything and we were treated really well.

                                                      Our main servers were very polite and friendly...food was good, but service was way off...there was a small banquet going on which seemed to commandeer all of the kitchen's attention..it took an hour for our meal to get to the table! Owner was there and he made no eye contact, apology, or anything...

                                                      Food tastes good but it's kid of expensive in comparison with restaurants that have a nice presentation and well integrated dishes

                                                      Our waitress was quite good BUT my dining partner ordered the Filet Mignon medium. It came rare. We sent it back asking that they just cook it a little more. 10 minutes later a new filet came out undercooked exactly as the first one. Sent it back again with the waitress assuring us it would only take a minute to cook the existing steak a little more. 10 minutes later another new steak came out undercooked exactly as the first 2. We gave up since my meal had now gone cold waiting for my partner's. Told them to just box it up and we'll have desert and leave. Clearly the chef did not understand complying with the customer's wishes. Desert was comped. Noise level unacceptable due to a table of 20ish millennials shrieking at each other all evening.
