We had a great experience and our server Mindy (or Mandy) was excellent! Had the raspberry mint margarita as well as the butternut squash tortellini and both were great! The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Great night out.

Ambiance and drinks were great. Our server was friendly and helpful. Our server forgot a few things we asked for (bacon for a burger, bun for a chicken sandwich, extra bread for the cheese etc). I ordered the scallops and shrimp and my shrimp were not cooked through, but the server was great and took off the meal. Overall the food was mediocre for the price.
