    David was an excellent server. He was personable and enjoyable to interact with. They were very busy so we had to wait a little longer to order and get our check. He gave us complimentary coffees for the wait. The food is always excellent and the menu has a wide range of prices. We had the Spicy Lobster Tots and split the Chop Chop salad. Both were excellent. My wife had the Cedar Plank salmon and I had the braised short ribs. Both were delicious. The atmosphere is high quality and comfortable. This has been one of our favorite restaurants for many years.
