    Food and service were excellent as always. Blue Soul was playing at the bar which was perfect dinner music and we also stayed for a drink at the bar after. It was a great anniversary. Thank you for the cake!

    Good food, pretty restaurant but way too loud!  it was so loud it was very hard to communicate. The service was good. I don't know that I go back because it was very hard for us to communicate with our friends on a Friday night out.

    This is an upscaled price restaurant with excellent food. Opportunities for aligning ambiance and service with the quality of food and prices that were noted: 1/ a cocktail in an upscale restaurant should not have a cheap maraschino cherry. Small detail and big impact. 2/ Overall the decor is pleasant but the bare wood table feels worn and dated. 3/ Pacing the meal or asking diners how they wish to pace the meal would better align with an upscale establishment, i.e. do not serve appetizer while diners are still drinking cocktail, ask for transition to wine selection before serving entree, wait for wine to be consumed prior to offering dessert (or at least check in if customers are ready for dessert menu). 4/ While I prefer fewer food choices, the dessert menu has the opportunity to have better selection.
