Food was good as usual but the wine by the glass is disgraceful. It is really undrinkable and way overpriced The cost of a glass is more than the bottle. What a shame to spoil a good meal with such poor one. Ruins whole experience

All I can say is WOW! The food was fantastic, but the service was unbelievable!!! Everyone from the Valet to the host to the multiple servers that came to the table. Everyone was so professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive. I loved everything about it and look forward to going back soon.

The wait staff very attentive. Granted we had a 5:30 reservation to make a performance so the traffic was light. However it was clear that the value of the meals and the taste of our food outstanding. Lamb Shank and Roasted Sea Scallops were our entries. Well worth a re visit. Plus the decorations of Xmas made the rooms very festive
