Over the years I’ve come to just expect great hospitality from this place …wherever it’s location ..and tonight was no exception…the smallest of reservation snafus handles with aplomb and courtesy and then just great service to make it not mean a thing. Food was great as always…always will come back!

The food was fantastic, particularly the roasted salmon! Our server (and the entire staff, in fact) was very kind. One member of our party was an older woman using a walker, and she moved very slowly. It seemed everyone we walked by had something nice to say to her. And she was delighted. I have always enjoyed PR, I hope to continue dining there for a long long time.
