There were 4 of us at the restaurant and we started off with signature cocktails at the bar.. very very good with friendly bartenders. After the drink we migrated over to our table in the main dining area and decided on a tasting menu with 8 selections... none of them disappointed and the Shaken Beef was fantastic.

Out of control noisy girls from the suburbs and the management said nothing and allowed it to continue, while patrons in the bar were clearly upset at the situation.

The food was delicious as always and the ambiance great. Our waiter seemed somewhat disinterested in us since we were full after 3 small plates, and didn't order anything else. We did have 2 cocktails-the Chilly Margaritas which was also delicious.
