Wonderful dinner for two on a Tuesday evening. We came rather early, but by the time we left, all the tables were full and the waitstaff was efficiently handling the crowd. My guest marveled at the fact that there were so many people dining on a random Tuesday evening. We both enjoyed our choices and dessert. The wines (recommended by our waiter) were excellent and my guest enjoyed a liquid tiramisu after dinner.
