The service was great, as usual. Steak was so good. Salmon wasn’t a favorite but they replaced with crab cake. It was amazing.

Your live music is just too loud. It should be background and not his personal concert. I have been to Frank and Dino before and I thought the same thing. I love the live music and he is very good! It’s just a little too loud. I talked to others and they say the same thing.
