    The service was friendly and prompt, we were early for our reservation and they took us in and sat us. We were happy to sit at the bar and wait, but the staff made room for us.

    Swordfish tonight was outstanding. Focaccia bread was very cold and should have been warmed. Our waiter from Jamaica was terrific.
