    We arrived and were seated in the back, it was warm and zero air movement. We ordered drinks then looking at the menu asked about chef specials ( nothing offered) as guest arrived our server was less and less available. After dinner I put my CC on the table it took over 30 minutes to get my bill and DD finalize our evening. We have dined here many times, service or staffing has slipped.
