This was an excellent choice for our annual tradition of going out to a nice restaurant on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious and the service was attentive without being overly done. We will definitely return in the future for special occasions.

Absolutely wonderful. Everything from the lobster bisque to the beef wellington and tournedos rossini was cooked to perfection. We've eaten in Michelin Star restaurants across Europe, and the food here was definitely on par.
