Had the Prix Fixe menu for Christmas Dinner - 3 courses for $50 US. Great food, attentive service and they were very accommodating in changing our reservation to a later time. Have been here for other celebratory occasions and it never disappoints. Fabulous background crooner music from the '50's (Sinatra, Martin, etc.)
