Really great service and attentive staff. At least five different people waited on us and manager checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. Most dog friendly place I’ve experienced, with even a separate dog menu. My Frenchie loved it and got a ton of attention and care from staff.

We went for Christmas Eve dinner and we were put in a large sterile banquet room with very bright lights. Our server was kind, friendly and prompt and that was the only positive. The short-ribs were extremely fatty and tough. Calamari was soggy as were the truffle fries. The only good meal was the salmon.

Breakfast buffet with Santa was the best yet this year. I think they simplified it. The cost was less and the menu was simple but everything was tasty (and GF!). My son loves it

While family in for holiday and we had the brunch. Best year and we’ve come for the last 20 years. Not sure what changed but clearly there was. Fresh and full the whole time we were there. Outside was lovely and we had a table in this quiet area by the stage. Felt like we were celebrities. Thanks so much.
