    Excellent menu and good value. We had a holiday dinner there with a large group and were pleased that the sound level was just enough to be festive but didn't drown out our conversation. We had an 8:00 reservation and we would have liked to stay for dessert or after-dinner drinks, but they pushed us out right after we finished dinner because the kitchen closed at 9:30. Staff were friendly, but a little accommodation would have been nice
