Food was food- service was ok- had to wait at times for drinks and at the end the waiter took forever in bringing our credit card back- we had to ask and when we did she freaked out and thought she had already given it to us. Luckily she found it and hadn’t given our card to another table. For the high price I would expect somewhat better service. On our reservation we noted that we were celebrating our engagement- no acknowledgment was even made by the server of this.
