    Have been many times and love it. Our server was not attentive at all. He took our drink order and we did not actually receive the drinks until 30 minutes later. We were seated at 11am upon opening and did not have drinks until 1135. I saw them sitting at the bar for 20 minutes and ultimately a bar tender brought them to our table after our server neglected to do so. He was extremely attentive to the table directly next to us which appeared to be regular customers I wish we had the same courtesy

    Great service, food and ambience BUT Too loud for conversation. We were a party of three seated at a table for four. Only the two seated side by side could chat/hear.
