    I had a delicious Caesar Salad and French Onion Soup. A little too many croutons in the soup I would have enjoyed more broth but it was still good. The noise level made it difficult to hear across our table. I find this a problem in many restaurants.

    Our waiter David was excellent.Efficient and personable. Everyone loved their food. The portions were large. For the first time ever, my Veal Marsala… The flavor was excellent. The mushrooms were delicious. But the veal was tough. It’s never happened before. So I was a little disappointed, but everybody else’s meal was very good. The tiramisu dessert was enough for three people lol. And it was delicious. The beet salads with the poached pears were really, really really good. Great dining experience.
