    Absolutely fantastic. It was a thanksgiving pre fixe which in past experiences in other restaurants has always been mediocre. This was not the case. Everything was perfect including the wine pairing. Initially, we were bummed it wasn’t the normal menu since we had never dined here before but my fiance and I both agreed we were happy it ended up the way it did. 10/10. Staff were excellent and attentive. They read all the queues perfectly and showcased lots of knowledge in all categories. Go here. You will not be disappointed.

    Everything was a good as it gets. This chain will be our first pick whenever its available. The food, service, and rooms were exceptional. Only one glitch- we made a dinner reservations two months ahead for Ardor on Thanksgiving. They wanted to seat us outside (with no prior notice) in cold weather with my 95 year old mother. We ended up waiting 25 minutes for inside table.

    It was amazing! Unfortunately another reservation we had was cancelled less than half an hour before my sister’s birthday, and Sur came to the rescue. We love all of Lisa’s restaurants, and this one did not disappoint! The decor, ambiance, food, service - all 100! Thank you for an amazing evening!
