Excellent Service, our waitress was very helpful and nice. We enjoyed our food And drinks. They have as n extensive beer, wine & spirits menu. Also a good variety of entrees and sides on the menu. Mid-dining we had a surprise visit by the Executive Chef to check on us. He was gregarious and very interested in our dining experience. We sat for a while in the bar, which is very stylish and an excellent spot for more informal dining—the too have food.
