There was a large group eating dinner near us that was drinking heavily, moving around the room, and yelling to each other down the length of the long common table. The matre de did come and ask them to quiet down, but they did not. I must say that if we encounter this atmosphere again at what has been one of our favorite spots, it will affect our desire to keep going there .

The turkey dinner was okay, stuffing was not great, turkey was turkey (nothing special) potatoes and sweet potatoes excellent. Lots of choice besides the turkey special. Good value as the food is always plentiful. First course was very good. Desserts were excellent as well. Service is always very attentive. You feel welcomed in the restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere even if it’s a little noisy.
