Food was delicious! They were able to accommodate a list of allergens and make just about anything on the menu. Ordered the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had a prime rib and chicken piccata. The piccata was a bit rich but good. The sides are large enough for 3-4 people. We ordered the Caesar salad and Brussel sprouts. Service was a little slow but it was Christmas Eve. The ambiance, hospitality and food make it worth it!
