The menu on open table was not accurate. This restaurant does not serve the lunch menu/prices in the month of December. The food was ok, but had always been great before this visit. We had to ‘flag’ down our server multiple times to get what we needed. Overall the visit was disappointing.

We had our 15 month old grandson with us and staff was attentive to that fact. They tried to keep things moving to keep him from getting restless.

We has a reservation for 6pm on Thanksgivings day. We got there and were told to wait a few minutes. Eventually, we were seated at 6:30pm and we placed our order. The food arrived 25 minutes later at 6:55pm. At 7pm the waitress came back and asked if we want to order anything else since the kitchen closes at 7pm, and she was pretty pushy about it. Food was OK, not bad, but not exceptional.
