Always a great place for the ambiance and food. Eat on the outside patio for a beautiful open air evening. We love to get a share every course. Our waitress was a lovely young woman, but she forgot all about an order of an extra glass of wine to go with our main course and didn’t bring it until we were completely finished with our food. We never could catch her eye to remind her.
