Service was excellent. However the food was just ok. I ordered the Salmon which was dry and overcooked and my husband ordered the pork chop which was also overcooked and thin. Probably should have ordered the filet mignon. Person next to me had it and it looked amazing.

It was an average experience for an upscale price. Waiter forgot our appetizers and the menu was not flexible to address dietary limitations. The food was average not outstanding. The crowd at the bar was so loud that conversation at the table was difficult. The manager did comp dessert for the errors and apologized for the confusion.
