My friend and I have been coming for lunch regularly for several years; often our server is Cliff, as it was today. Along with everything else that makes our experience great, Cliff is the icing on the cake; he remembers our favorites and never, ever rushes us. Thanks to all of you.

Had to wait a long time for the table even with a reservation due to half the restaurant being held for a holiday party. But the food and service was good once we were finally seated.
