Food is always delish and service is great! Only thing I don't understand is why charge for the little basket of bread? Most restaurants give that complimentary and charge if you want extra after that.

Only bad thing it was freezing cold! Our server did not tell us about the 3 course lunch specials. We heard the server at the next table but it was too late because we had already ordered. The food was excellent and our server was very nice.
