    Service was excellent. Our waiter made food and wine suggestions and helped us in food pairings. Everything was brought out in a timely manner and all the food was excellent. I will make this pilgrimage more often.

    We went there to celebrate our anniversary at lunch and had requested a quiet table! There was only one other couple in the restaurant and they sat us next to them. Ordinarily that would’ve been fine, but the lady was rather loud from New York. The food was absolutely delicious, but the shrimp was a little tough . That will not keep us from going back. We will just be more careful about where we asked to sit.
