Great restaurant. Our server , Amanda, did an excellent job taking care of us. One comment: today’s noise level was uncomfortable due to a large party in the meeting room. Normally, the noise level is moderate. The restaurant needs to do a better job managing the separation between the “meeting room “ and the dining room.
