First time was on a random, seldom achieved, date night! Our server made sure that we always had wine, the wine was served chilled and to a perfect level, and she took care to ensure that our food was correct and described the cooking processes. I ordered a New York strip, which had incredible value and was cooked to the most perfect medium rare I have ever had. We also had a honey glazed salmon, served on asparagus which was among the best I have ever had. Salmon was served medium and never frozen. The quality of this bistro is outstanding, waiting for my next excuse to visit, hoping I have the same server.

I never go to Italian places because so many serve noodles and pizza sauce. This place is fresh ingredients, massive portions, amazing sauces, a wood fire oven, and great service. I just can't say enough good about it.

Step back in time, over 2000 years ago, and walk the streets of ancient Bethlehem as Mary and Joseph did on the night of Christ's birth. On your journey to the site of the Nativity, you will meet innkeepers, merchants, craftsmen, tradesmen, clergy, and many other citizens as they portray daily life in the City of Bethlehem, complete with sheep, camels, and donkeys. You can also visit Herod's Court and await the nightly parade of the three kings bringing their treasures to Bethlehem's newest citizen.
