Restaurant was busy but not overly crowded. I think if it were full it would be difficult for a table of 6 to converse. Noisy. Food was delicious. Server (John, maybe? It was a little noisy). Was attentive and patient. Helpful with menu and wine questions. The place is a little pricey, but upscale and high quality. Enjoyed our evening.

We had dinner and were able to eat outside. It was quiet and lovely. We didn't need heaters, but they were there in case. We started with the Dillinger side car----a great drink. I had the fish tacos. They were delicious---not quite a main meal for heavier eaters, but I wasn't too hungry so they were perfect. My friend ordered the St Louis ribs. Magnificent! Tasty and meaty.

Great taco lunch and able to watch the game in the bar with fellow fans! The prickly pair margaritas are divine, too. Terrific service. Great dining option, especially when staying at Lodge.
