Loud and bright, the girl that was clearing tables was way too fast. We were barely putting our fork’s down and she was taking our dishes, waiter was very nice and did a good job. Food was good but my shrimp and Risotto was not hot, my husband’s pork chop was amazing . I appreciated very much that they have gluten free options. Does not have the high end atmosphere that it use to.
