They were really on top of it and it was all paced nicely. We got the roulade and soup, the salmon and steak and the cheesecake and chocolate mousse cake (a sub for the other chocolate dessert). Everything was even better than expected. I’d highly recommend.

                                                                This is a great place to go for good service and a quiet ambience. The entrees are reasonably priced - however, while we liked almost everything, it also felt a bit like "nothing special". But nonetheless, I think it's still a good place to go for upscale food especially when you want to be able to hear and talk to everyone at the table.

Our waiter forgot our drink order and app order 2 times so we never even actually got our drink order as our food came and we said forget it. With all that, it was an hour before we even placed our entree order. Absolutely horrendous experience and food was pretty flavorless. Definitely not worth the money.
