    We were lucky enough to get a table during the Grand Illumination and the food absolutely matched the beauty of the parade. Every bite of our meal from the pumpkin soup (that has the most amazing homemade croutons!) to the tuna tartare that was just melt-in-the-mouth delicious and the delicious scallops…every single bite was just amazing. I’m absolutely going to come back because I saw someone else get the GL burger and I NEED to try it! Looked amazing! Our server Crystal (I’m pretty sure that’s her name and I feel terrible about not being sure!) was absolutely amazing. Extremely attentive but without being overbearing. Our drinks were always tended to and she was very knowledgeable about the dishes we were eating. The whole experience was just delightful from beginning to end.

    The food was excellent. Would have been nicer if my wife and I did not need to sit next to the bar when the rest of the restaurant was empty when we arrived
