Our group of 4 wanted a venue where we could hear each other. The Lawn fit the bill. Food was good, not great, but the service was mediocre. At one point, I had to get up and walk over to the bartender and ask to send our server to refill my water. The place was not busy, so no excuses. The place has a nice relaxed feel and is easy to get a reservation last minute. We will give it another try.
