Had a great meal and night out with friends. Our waiter, Patrick was a lot of fun and we enjoyed his wit. Everyone in our group said their food was excellent! Before dinner we had wine tastings with Allison as our server. She was also very fun and great!

Food was very good. Service was excellent. The only problem was had was the water. It tasted awful. When we spoke to the server about it, he acknowledged that they were aware of the problem and that it was a city issue. He then offered us bottled water. It would have been better if that had simply been provided from the start rather than waiting until we complained.
