Overall very good food and ambience. Fireside table was beautiful , service was timely and responsive. Might’ve been nice to close one of the dining room doors to separate the loud birthday crowd on the other side of the dining room but that’s totally a minor point thank you Jessica‘s.

It was really good until the main course. Slightly underwhelming… venison was not super flavorful. It needed salt and pepper.
