The hostess and server were attentive and accommodating to requests for non-alcoholic beverages and allowing time to peruse the menu. My favorite course was the escargot, absolutely delicious. I enjoyed my mushroom, avocado and hearts of palm salad, though it was a bit creamier than I expected it to be. The veal risotto was okay, but there was too much salt in the dish. I was looking forward to dessert, but the server never offered us a look at the dessert menu nor did she ask if we would like to have dessert or a coffee, espresso, cappuccino to wrap up our dining experience. The valet was prompt in retrieving our vehicles and had a pleasant demeanor. The experience overall was just okay, and I don’t think I will revisit in the future.
