Service from Vosco was excellent. He was so friendly and nice. I always love Ellies chicken and I can’t steak medallions and I didn’t enjoy it as much as the chicken meal. Brussels sprout appetizer was a little salty and sugary

The food was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. The Christmas decor was festive. We had a great meal on Christmas Eve. We each had a sale to start with; my husband had the table side Caesar and I had a house salad. Both were fresh and delicious. For our mai meals, my husband had the cedar plank salmon. It was cooked exactly as he asked and the flavors were great. I had the miso glazed sea bass with black rice. The blend of flavors was tasty and delicious. For dessert, the Sticky toffee pudding is a must and it did not disappoint. Our server was Kevin. He was knowledgeable of the menu and very pleasant and attentive. We have dined at Region before and it was extremely special to be recognized by servers that have waited on us in the past. For a great meal with attentive service and comfortable surroundings, Region is a must.

Everything was great, as usual, but service from the kitchen was a little slower than anticipated. However, this was Christmas Eve and the restaurant was very busy.
