    I took my sister here for her birthday. This was our first time here with the new owners. We went about five years ago, and it was OK. It is MUCH better now. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was upgraded. I liked the hanging lights and fireplace. I gave the service four stars because our server wore a ski jacket the entire time. It was so strange. Did he spill something on his shirt? It felt like someone off the street was serving us. He was friendly and attentive, but getting past the down jacket was hard. I would recommend this restaurant, but I do not think I will go for a special occasion again.

    Ambiance is delightful and the restaurant has a very clean look. Food selections were delicious; sphere potatoes were yummy. The only suggestion I have for the restaurant is to ensure that the food is hot. My chicken enchiladas were warm at best and the sphere potato appetizer needed to be hot as well. Other selections we tired needed to be hotter as well. Overall, the food taste was delicious.
