    The food was delightful, the decor and ambience so classy and elegant, and our waiter provided great service while allowing us to enjoy the evening. What was also very, very nice and just to the night was listening to Judy Robert’s and Greg Fishman play some really mellow jazz. Judy Robert’s voice is “butter.”

    First time here and it was wonderful! Service was great, quick, attentive and friendly. Really enjoyed the holiday decor. Two guests had the Saturday special of ribs which were slightly dry but tasted good, one had the chicken pot pie and I had the warm harvest salad both were excellent. We don’t live in the area but will definitely travel back.

    Loved the candlelight dinner experience although a couple by us kept their menu open the entire meal so they had “additional light” which was blaring in our eyes all through our meal ….. I think someone should have told them this was hurting the ambience for the rest of the patrons around them. Our server was amazing and informative and we enjoyed our time!
