    Outstanding display of holiday decor accompanied by 3 world class dishes or duck, beef tenderloin and Risotto. The duck was tops and one of the best duck dishes I’ve eaten in quite some time. Well done, Geist!

    It was freaking cold on the back porch. There was no indication we would be “outside” so we did not dress appropriate.

    We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and I had made our reservation a month in advance. Unfortunately when we arrived at the restaurant, after paying 20.00 to park, we were seated by the restroom in an empty room. I asked to be moved to the patio which is where I had requested to sit on my reservation. There were empty tables so I am not sure why we were not seated there in the first place. I asked about the happy hour menu that was on the website but was told they no longer had a happy hour menu. The patio was beautifully decorated for Christmas but unfortunately it was freezing and you could almost see your breath. The food was ok but I would not recommend this restaurant.
