I highly recommend their smoked old fashion. Our dinner was excellent. The waiters, the ambiance and most of all the food. We both had the chilean sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. Moist but not undercooked. I wanted to try their baked alaska but we were both to stuffed! Next time we'll go more hungry.

Salad part was just ok. It had way too many crumbs. Garlic dressing was overwelhming I have had many good meals there but this was very disappointing

During the meal, the water we were being served started tasting funny and had a weird smell to it. We had to get the water replaced a few times before it was right again. Also, the staff made a big to-do about removing the plates from the table. It was disruptive and unnecessary. It's a beautiful restaurant with good food, though.
