Dinner tonight was excellent, as always. We were first seated in the south part of the dining room near a very large, full table — which was understandably a bit noisy. The hostess was able to find a quieter situation in the bar almost immediately — and we had a great evening.

The food was excellent and truly differentiated. The service was perfect. The only complaint is that the table we had a view of the restrooms. We've been several times and will continue to keep this gem on our list of regulars.
