    First time dining. Just pulling up the driveway and seeing the beautiful Christmas tree was a precursor to an absolutely lovely evening. We sat at a table by the bar enjoying solo, piano player and vocals. Bryant doubled as waiter and bartender. He his team could not have been more tremendous. The food was exceptional, especially the cauliflower appetizer & Faroe Islands Salmon. Highly, highly recommend.

    The appetizers and side dishes were good but the main course(ribeye steak) came out medium well when we ordered medium rare. For the price we should have been served as ordered. I also believe that the resturant is suffering a backlash to their high prices as they were only at about a 20 percent capacity when it should have been at max capacity on a prime evening.

    Great atmosphere and service. Food is just ok. Nothing special. Not bad, but pricey. I will say the Old fashion is very good, but dropping $28 a pop makes it less desirable. Overall a good experience.

    We celebrated the tree lighting ceremony last night with a table by the tree. Everything was great. We had a couple of issues with the food being over and undercooked but the restaurant Corrected the problem and gave us deserts on the house to make up for food prep. It was a very buy evening and they served a lot of people otherwise their food is consistently good. It was a great way to kick off the Christmas Season.
