Food was once again fabulous as was the service. The six of us all had steaks... Cooked to perfection. The service was attentive and quick. Excellent. 4 star on ambiance only because the noise levels are slightly high. Making it more difficult to carry on a conversation involving all 6 of us. However we had a table in the bar area which may have been why it was a bit high. We had a wonderful evening and will be back.
