    Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The food was good, although quite salty. Service could be a bit quicker, but no major issues.

    The staff was attentive and friendly. The food tasty. The restaurant was crowded so lots of people talking making the room loud and hard to hear others at our table.

    During the Open Table reservation process I was not informed that it was strictly buffet that evening. They ran out of prime rib but recovered nicely with a great filet mignon. The artichoke was more than noteworthy.
