First time but certainly not the last! Warm greeting from the valet, followed by the same from the hostess. Pleasant professional warm. Seated immediately Waitperson(Jordan) was friendly and as first timers we leaned on him. A great trust Several of the Mezze followed by the Dourade, sunshine carrots, and a potato dish. All were just off the charts taste wise and presentation wise. Waitstaff, food runners and bus staff top notch. Will return soon
