The service was great. Two of our party of four were half an hour late. No problem. A nearly full drink got knocked over by one of us. They moved us to another, clean, table and brought a replacement drink. The food was excellent and the portions were large. I had to take half my entree home (and it was delicious the next day, too). It was a loud room. The bread was substandard. Still, the overall experience was excellent and definitely worth coming back.
