The Manager was very helpful. We asked for a seat change. Why? We were initially seated close to the entrance and each time the door was opened, we got hit with the cold breeze (outside temp around 35 degrees at the time). The Manager ushered us to a better seat in the back of the restaurant and we ended up having a great time. Thanks for your understanding and resolving our issue.

Manager was awesome. We were in a time crunch. He made sure we had our drinks etc. Server expedited things too. The best salad I’ve had ever, so fresh and light. Swordfish slightly overcooked and extremely salty. My husbands meatballs were great, not too salty. The complimentary hummus was delicious. Great overall. Service fantastic.
