We had a reservation, asked for a quiet table, could not have been better for catching up with old friends. Waitress was attentive, service was fast, food was outstanding. Overall great experience. Caveat- it was a Sunday evening so restaurant was not full. We’ve been there before when it’s been crowded but food is always very good.
