    New Year's Eve dinner. Beautiful ambiance for the holidays. Dining room full but not noisy. Great and plentiful menu choices. Staff friendly. Fried zucchini app was delicious although small in size. Salad was fresh and tasty. Pasta bolognese was under seasoned and bland. Tollhouse pie dessert undercooked and mushy. Hoping issues were because of it being NYE because I usually love my food here.

    Excellent service, and the food was so delicious! The Shrimp cocktail was outstanding, lobster tail was sooo good, filet mignon was great, but it could have been so much better if it had been medium rare, like we ordered (instead of MW). But we realized it was NYE, so we did not mention it. Everything was terrific-great atmosphere, music, vibe, and friendliness of the staff! Bill: a little over $300 for 2 people-NYE, 2 drinks each.

    The Thanksgiving buffet was great and I don’t think I’ll ever want to cook at home again! We completely enjoyed the turkey and stuffing, the mashed potatoes, gravy, sprouts, sweets, Mac and cheese, salmon, ham, roast beef, in short, everything. Nice, friendly service, and it was nice to be able to hear one another at the table. Seating was very comfortable and nicely spaced. A hit for our party of 6!
