    Delicious food, upbeat atmosphere, energetic and helpful waitress . Stated that it was our anniversary on open table and hostess greeted us saying happy anniversary, took us to our table with a signed Happy anniversary card and waiter gave my husband and I each a glass of champagne! It was a wonderful evening and would highly recommend. It was packed at 7 pm on a weeknight so to us as tourists it was a sign of a good place to dine.
