First time there but won't be my last! Beautiful spot, so nicely decorated, service was impeccable, staff friendly and food prompt and delicious. Impressive menu. Would also like to commend the hostess for phoning me when we were late for our reservation because we were lost, she gave directions that helped get us there in a hurry. And they held our reservation despite being totally full with no other tables available. Would highly recommend.
