    Everything was delicious. I would just ask that a dress code is enforced for the bartenders. The female bartender has her shirt almost completely unbuttoned and her breasts were obnoxiously popping out. Even I couldn’t help but noticing:.. my husband and I were there on a date and it was just not a very high end experience… I would expect this at Hooters, not a $300 dinner.

    Great experience as usual. Food was phenomenal. Service was good. A bit brighter lighting would make reading the menu easier.
