We had the perfect family dinner here. I selected this restaurant mostly because it could accommodate our family of nine the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and everyone agreed it was the perfect place. Our table was in the back room where it was relatively quiet (especially before other parties sat down, luckily we eat early), the service was attentive, and the food was excellent. We will definitely eat here again.
