Overall food was excellent as usual. Service was also very good. However, the idea that if something unexpected happened and we had to cancel or change we would be charged $80 was absolutely OFFENSIVE and has now moved a place we liked to go to a place I will only reserve if our kids are visiting and request it. There are plenty of other restaurants that are not extortionists in their reservations. VERY UNFORTUNATE for a place that was prior a favorite.
