“ My sister and I had our second Christmas Eve dinner here last night and it was perfect as usual. The restaurant was full and the service was fantastic. The entrees arrived to the table timely and hot, unaffected by the hustle and bustle of the holiday crowd. Famlies with small children in the dining room added a special joyful noise. Our favorite- Oysters Rockefeller were on the menu and we enjoyed 2 orders. Thank you to Freddie and staff. ”
