    Reasonable breadth of selections for an evening meal. The dining room was full but it was still possible to have a conversation. My dinner salad was generous size but the added grilled chicken was served as several large slabs on the side instead of being integrated into the salad. Each of the different entrees we ordered were well presented and delicious. Service was attentive and excellent. I recommend for an upscale meal for one, two, or a small group.

    Service was a bit slow. Food wonderful as always. It was very loud, more than normal. Not sure if it was just because of where we were seated (under the stairs) or just loud patrons. Still, a great meal with family for a birthday.

    my noise level choice was because we were initially seated by a group of 6 to 8 ladies who were quite noisy in their conversation and carrying on… We did ask to be reseated and they helped us move our things to another area… Which was really appreciated so we could carry on a reasonable conversation...

    Our only issue was how long it took to be asked about boxes and dessert. Great experience otherwise.

    The service was outstanding. Highly recommend a reservation at busy times. We had one and the service was prompt and the food was delicious. I like the different option for food.

    The Mother's Day brunch menu was fantastic! Party of 5, and we each tried a different item. All were amazing! The waitress had some larger groups to serve, and she didn't miss a beat. The service was excellent!

    Third time here. Culinary delights are always done exquisitely. Nice ambience. Only negative I can comment on was our server had asked if we wanted bread, to which we agreed to. When we got the bill, we noticed there was a $5.00 charge for the bread. Now I’m not quibbling about the $5.00, but I believe our server should have informed us there would be a charge when he first asked if we wanted bread.
