Tonight is the first time I have had a hamburger here and as to be expected Peter’s recipe for the French Onion Burger is the very best I have ever had! Thanks Peter! And I was lucky enough to have my favorite cocktail … even though it was no longer on the menu! Thank you one and all for a wonderful dinner … and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁

Despite being 45° out the restaurant had the air conditioning on and it was freezing cold sitting there trying to have dinner. They said there's nothing they can do about it despite the fact that people were putting on their jackets while eating.

It was great. Reservation was easy, and help I needed about the table was well resolved. The food was amazing as always. We had the round table in the corner and the noise was not a problem.
