We were seated in the "lounge" area as Open Table did not specify where our table was to be. It was quite noisy. We asked to be moved but they were unable to accommodate us. My wife's order included green beans [there was some problem in the kitchen] and the manager provided a Greek Salad as a replacement. They also comp'd desert for our trouble. The food we had was all very good.
