    We were most impressed with our waiter.I think his name is Brad, who was also floor manager. He is tall with dark hair. His communication skills were excellent, and he kept coming out from the back to reassure us when our food items were being done and how soon delivered. We initially were told by another wait staff upon arrival that our indoor reserved table that we had made weeks ago could not be given to us. My wife hadn't been feeling well so that was not going to work for us, and we didn't want to leave, so that waiter took it to the floor manager where it was straightened out. Overall, we are pleasantly surprised first by the managerial services and second by the food.
