Vegetarian had several choices, and server was helpful pointing out choices. Meat eater found something he loves that is rarely on the menu. Original menu choices. Delicious food. Hostess and server were friendly. Other staff were unobtrusive. Diverse group of diners from young to older adults. Dress was casual (jeans) to dressed up (suits/blazers). Glass gallery makes this a unique and unforgettable restaurant.
