    Our food and drinks came at a moderate time. Our entire party didn’t show up till 10 minutes after our reservation, though we did have a friend hold down the table and order our drinks prior our arrival. The food came out nice and hot and delicious. The ambience is very nice (tad cold though, wear sleeves), saw the table next to ours get a cute little fondue. Great location and happy hour is a great bang for your buck. The only downside was it was quite hard to track down our server. Wasn’t too attentive. Although few times she did come by she came with a smile :)
