The food, expertly prepared, was delicious, with staff, including hostess, server, and assistant, working well together to create a synergy to our benefit. Holiday ambience was woven nicely into the experience as ostensibly no patrons had canceled for the evening notwithstanding the snow coming down outside in ample quantity; thank God the cabs were all running on time.

Great seaport restaurant attached to a local hotel. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Lively bar area and comfortable seating. Food was reasonably priced, and service was very attentive. Great choice for a cold winter's dinner in the city. Also, great people-watching with parties in festive attire streaming through the lobby.
