    We had a very nice evening. We were a group of 6. Two were served Old Fashions that were terrible and not up to usual standards. The service is also not up to standards. Our reservation was at 7:30, and we were the last to leave the restaurant. Two people had the Pig and Fig entree and it was not tender. Everyone else enjoyed their dinner. It may have been an off night, but we will go back again.
