    We came in for an alternative to a typical Thanksgiving Dinner. The warm and welcoming service and environment was a perfect and pleasant surprise. The pork chop was tasty, the braised short ribs was flavorful and the striped Mexican Sea Bass was delicious. We ordered the sides of brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese, and asparagus, which complimented our main courses. The wines were delicious too! It was a great Thanksgiving Dinner!

    The food was excellent, turkey was tender and moist and very plentiful, and the sides were very tasty. Service was excellent, wait staff were very pleasant, attentive and efficient. Our reservation was for 5:30pm, and we were seated immediately upon arrival.

    Great to find a place open on Thanksgiving that has their normal menu and not some overpriced “specials” only. Good food, good service, pleasant atmosphere. That’s what I call a good value.
