    Loved it! Service was very attentive and they had wonderful suggestions from their menu. The steak tartare was delicious served on homemade potato chips. The deviled eggs were a wonderful surprise served upside down with a sauce and caviar on top. The Caesar salad was amazing…I shared this but won’t next time I return…it was delicious with the crunchy topping. We shared the roast chicken, which was so tender and had the most delicious pan gravy. And don’t leave without trying the Soft Serve dessert. It checks all the boxes…caramel, toasted hazelnuts, poached pears and ice cream.

    Every table had a fun cracker to pull and adorable nutcrackers on the table. Tea was delicious and the little sandwiches and desserts were perfect and tasty. Loved the rainbow cookies and the macarons. Definitely would do this again.
