Delicious and amazing. Jon took great care of us! Excellent recommendations - the scallops and the cheese plate were my favorite! Very cute Christmas decorations and live music which we enjoyed! Great spot for a business meal or a date night! And gorgeous views.

Breakfast buffet with Santa was the best yet this year. I think they simplified it. The cost was less and the menu was simple but everything was tasty (and GF!). My son loves it

The food was excellent as usual. We asked for a quieter area so we’re were seated in the garden room which was great. Nice ambience and cozy with patio heaters. Our wait person was very attentive and efficient and friendly and our delicious food came very timely. We enjoyed the complimentary birthday Dunday.

We sat at the bar and it was so much fun. Bartender was very attentive and positive about the food and drinks we had chosen. It was just after Thanksgiving, so the place was very quiet. We shared poke, a salad and some fries. All very good.
