Wait time was short. Server was excellent and timed everything well. The dessert took long and the top of crème brûlée was not torched like pudding with sprinkle sugar. Very festive.

Although the holiday installations were beautiful, the food was very bland. The drinks were also not well made.

The food was NOT good. How does an Italian place make bad pasta? It was gummy and seemed reheated. My guess is they are stretched beyond their capacity. It's too bad because we went twice last year, once during the holidays and once in the spring. Both times were excellent. Is it festive, yes. That's the only positive I can say right now. Even the drinks were bad(overly sweet and bitter at the same time). I'm sad and I truly hope they get it together as we would love to keep supporting a local restaurant but won't be back unless we start hearing the food is as good as it used to be.

The ambience was AMAZING- the holiday decorations were beautiful and put my family into the holiday spirit. The food was HORRIBLE - with a fixed menu you would think that it would be delivered to your table warm. Instead the food was cold and lacked flavor. Go there for the pictures this time of year but not the food.

The decor was beautiful but that was about it. The food was not tasty, the rigatoni was mushy and the sauce lacked taste. My drink didn’t arrive til the entree arrived, which was a disappointment since my daughter received hers at the beginning. The waiter said it’s because I ordered an alcoholic drink. Also, The waiter tried to take my daughter’s drink away because she thought she gave her the wrong one, which she didn’t. The waiter didn’t offer us any grated cheese but did so to the table next to ours. The prices were way over priced for the quality of food. You go for the ambiance if you don’t mind paying 149.00 for two dinners, two drinks, and 20% percent tip.

Visited definition for the holiday lunch experience for Christmas season 2024. What an amazing experience! Our family of four truly had a wonderful time. The ambience was amazing, the decorations truly remarkable. The food was really amazing, with multiple options and all of them really delicious. Highly recommend this experience and will definitely plan on returning.
