We had reservations for Valentine's evening, but still got seated in a room on a small table next to a fabric wall where the winter wind was making us cold. We kept our coats on. The rest of the restaurant looked warm and inviting. Food was really good, but my Skirt Steak could have used some kind of starch, something small, to balance out the meat flavor.
