The noise level was loud & night club ish . We asked if they could turn it down a bit - they did & play soft jazz perhaps, more in keeping with the speak easy vibe. The waitress was great but I had talked to the manager beforehand that my dining companion had early dementia & would probably require patience. However, the waitress spoke rapidly which was difficult for my friend to process. Better to go slower for elderly & those with dementia. Other than that it was great!

I’d suggest you make a reservation as it was a full house at 2pm on a Thursday. We were greeted promptly by our server and she checked on us regularly. The food came out timely and it was delicious. We each had alcoholic beverages, salads, an entree, cappuccinos and dessert. The bill was about $200 and I felt that was a fair price and worth it.
