We had a reservation for 7 at 7. the host was ready for us and we were seated immediately. the table had the right amount of room for our team and the lady bags, which does not happen often, so thank you for that important detail. Our servers were on point with the specials, special meal requests and able to address quickly our questions. Our meals were delivered with a lovely flourish, Lamb which was cooked to perfection, scallops that were tender and properly flavored, Lobster that was buttery and sparking with flavor and a vegan acorn squash which seemed to the hit for the weekend for that diner, all the food was at the right temperatures, Each person was happy. thank you thank you thank you
