    It was the first time in a while that we sat inside and though it was pretty loud the atmosphere was inviting. The service was very good and our dinners were well prepared and delicious. ( we both had the steak/ frites and shared a Caesar salad). It may have been better than the pasta which we most often choose. The waiters, bus staff, and host were all very attentive without being overbearing. Overall a great night.
