Our server was wonderful and poor guy also had to tend bar. He was attentive and the food was great. Especially enjoyed poke salad. And since Covid I rarely travel with me purse. Had it for a different purpose and accidentally left behind. After going home about a mile realized my mistake. Called and they retrieved. Much appreciated

We had Thanksgiving dinner. Reservations required. It was awesomely, crazily busy. We had a 3:15pm reservation but couldn’t be seated until 3:45. Just watching the staff - wow, so many people rushing around at speed. When we were seated, the service was quick and professional. Despite the number of people we could still have a conversation - good acoustics, maybe because it’s broken up into rooms. The food was excellent. Definitely more than our usual budget, but we were pleasantly stuffed and took home leftovers. $69 per person (Nov 2024) and we pushed that a lot higher with our glasses of wine. Great experience. Would definitely consider going again. Next time reserve early, and as early in the day as possible to avoid the reservation stack up delays.
