    Food, cocktails, service, value, and ambiance all excellent. As a bonus, they offer validated parking at the garage at the hotel next door. The only negative was we were seated in the back room when it was empty and they had the air conditioning on full blast. As the room filled, the temperature was better. My fault as I should have brought a jacket.

    Great ambiance, very good food, good service. Could use a larger beverage list (wine, cocktails), and can be very loud, but overall it was a really good experience.

    Be aware that a 20% tip is automatically added no matter the size of your party. There were only 4 of us and it was automatically included and they didn’t tell us.
