Very nice evening. Wine/beverage choices. Food menu had many good choices. Everyone enjoyed the meal although the rack of lamb that one person chose was chewy (this was the case on a prior visit but was hoping for improvement). Our Server, Ally was extremely personable & very attentive .

Food is excellent. We felt rushed with the dining experience. Very disappointed with their wine policy. It is not very forthcoming. When you call asking about corkage fee, they fail to tell you that you can't bring a wine bottle they in their cellar. When you look at their website the menu shows a very limited wine selection. They another wine menu that is very extensive. Needless to say this started the experience on the wrong foot.
