We were seated promptly wit our reservation. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Our waiter accidentally put one order in incorrectly and this resulted in a significant delay. He comped that meal and we appreciated the gesture. He was otherwise a very attentive waiter. The deviled eggs and cronuts were very yummy!
