We had the first reservation of the morning to start off a full day, and when we got there a couple minutes early they very kindly did not make us wait in the rain/snow but rather got us seated and started with menus and coffee. They were very accommodating of our vegetarian diet and the service was quick and friendly. The food was excellent and we will be back again I'm sure. It was quiet because the weather was horrible, but we also couldn't really hear the people at the bar from our booth because the sound didn't carry much. Great place!
