Normally I have found this place to be a stellar atmosphere, but when dining at 9pm you do not expect to be subjected to a screaming baby for the entire meal, which perhaps coincidentally, led to slower and less attentive service than usual from the waitress. The young man that works there, perhaps as a busboy, is very kind and attentive, seemingly going above and beyond his assigned duties. All said, the food was stellar and I will definitely be going back.
