We had Anthony as our server and he was fantastic! I have been there a few times this season and Anthony was the most attentive! Would definitely recommend going and getting the chicken Alfredo or the pork chop, but if you get yourself sat in Anthony’s section consider yourself lucky!! He made our Christmas Eve reservation that much more special! Thanks Anthony!
