    Great Christmas decor but was SO loud. Food was decent but overpriced. Service was ok, just super busy.

    Dinner was good. QR code at the table did not sync to our phones so we initially resorted to order from the wrong menu online but the waitress was nice enough to assist. The lavender lemonade was perfection. Salmon was cooked perfectly and garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. My daughter enjoyed her lamb chops as well. Always beautiful ambiance at Christmas time.

    The decorations were beautiful but the weight time was terrible. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation and then proceeded to wait another 30 minutes to be sat. The atmosphere and cocktails were great they over committed on reservations and the wait time was ridiculous. It was a cool experience but given the wait times I would not recommend.

    Waited over an hour for a table despite having reservations at 3:45 pm. Server never checked on us and food didn't come out together. Three of my part had finished their meal before three others got their main course.

    I ordered the Christmas Coffee Flight which came with peppermint, marshmallow, and gingerbread coffee. The coffee flight was $30 and came with three small shot-glass sized cups of coffee. The coffee was amazing, but the price vs. quantity ratio upset me and I will not order again. I also ordered the breakfast platter with over easy eggs and turkey bacon. This was very delicious and I enjoyed it very much.

    Not impressed. Service was horrible, got seated about an hour after our reservation. The attention was just disappointing. Food nothing special. Drinks were great, felt more like a decorated college pub.

    Not worth the hype! $35 for a dry pork chop with bbq sauce and chunky mashed potatoes and short rib with the exactly same sauce and sides, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!. The espresso martini flight comes in shot size glass, they’re so tiny. Overall we spent $160 and was the worst meal we’ve had in 2024. Did I mention that if you pay with cash you get a discount? lol if you just go for drinks I guess is fine but prepare yourself to wait at least 30 minutes for your table with reservation.

    Our drinks got mixed up at first and then it took a little while for my other friends to get their order in. Checking in was ok the host at the desk was a little confusing when we asked if we could be seated before the rest of our party was there

    We had to ask for the check multiple times. The waitress never came over to ask us if we needed anything. The first time we asked for the check, she didn’t come back for 25 minutes. We eventually asked two other people before we were able to get it.
