This was my daughter 40th birthday celebration with a party of 9. A lot of work for a waitress who had to deliver drinks and food up the stairs. We did have a 6 year old with us so the wait was a bit much for him :) Overall a delightful experience but there was a 15 minute wait until all guests were given their entree, we tend to wait until everyone can eat before digging in. Everyone enjoyed their meals.
