    Our dinner was a great experience from the start. We were early for reservations but able to be seated immediately. Our server was personable, very thorough in describing both the bar and food menu and happy to give great recommendations. She was attentive and conversational but left us to enjoy our meal. The ambience is fantastic - warm. The food was delicious - mac and cheese eggrolls, garden pasta and short ribs. Even the bread starter was especially good, warm and soft. I particularly enjoyed the running video of drinks and food being prepared on the tv. Highly recommend!

    Our waiter was very good and attentive. One of the bartenders came with my friends drink. Dropped the cinnamon stick, couldn't get the fire going, dropped the lemon skin and the ice cube on the table before he got done!! Couldn't believe it. Did not offer to start a new one! Acted like, "Oh well"! The food was fantastic. The music got so loud at one point that you couldn't hear each other, so we had to ask our waiter to please try to turn the volume down. They finally turned it off.
