    Great place for special family dinners. As most people know, the mushroom soup is outstanding, but our son had the french onion soup, which had great depth of flavor. Great food all around.

    Food and service always on point. We were so kindly asked if we could move to the next table over a few minutes after we placed our order so to accommodate a larger group as the place was hopping. We did not mind. We were offered a nice bread basket and deviled eggs which were so delicious. Nice touch.

    We had the most courteous, helpful waiter last night (Dec.24). Unfortunately, we did not get his name but he was wearing an ugly Christmas sweater Lol. It was a very enjoyable experience—excellent food & festive ambiance as well.

    Jack our waiter was awesome. Too pricey for the food you actually get and not enough vegan or allergy options. Probably won’t be coming back.

    Shockingly there was a poor wine selection. We tried to order 5 different bottles and they were out of all of them. A week before Christmas! Food was expensive for what it is
