    I like to go during the holidays because it’s always beautiful. I think that it’s overpriced for what you get. I ordered Sea Bass which was very good but they could have gave me a potato with it. I had a cup of coffee and it was bad. I couldn’t even drink it. It either wasn’t fresh brewed or made very strong. I think they could improve their dessert menu. I don’t think I will be back for awhile. My stomach can’t get full from atmosphere alone. Sorry

    We started with the French Onion Soup, and it hit the spot! I had the Caprese Chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. I really enjoyed the taste of this sandwich, and the fries were delicious. My husband had the BYOB - he had a burger with fries! Large and delicious. We shared a bottle of Malbec wine. Jeff B. took fantastic care of us! He is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We will definitely ask for him again. THANKS Jeff!

    Service was really great. We arrived at 10 when they opened so it was really cold while we were eating and our food got cold fast because of being seated right under the vent but once the heat kicked on it was super warm with great vibes. Despite the cold food it was delicious.
