    We enjoyed the food! Our group was given a table right next to the row of cars with no divider between, so not the nicest ambience. We were late for our reservation, which is why we lost our original table.

    Such a great place to have a wonderful meal. Service is thoughtful and quick but they pace the dishes well, and the food is excellent. This used to be a darker more date night type place but seems to have shifted to be more family friendly. That's not a bad thing (we have kids, too) but was a noticeable difference from our last visit. I'd still come here for a great meal anytime.
