    Our server, Miranda, was outstanding! Her timing was impeccable, her disposition perfection, and recommendations spot on! We sat in the bar area (high top) near the piano. When making the res I was concerned about noise level. Not an issue at all. Was able to talk at a normal level, hear the entertainment (piano/singer - wow was she phenomenal!), and not be able to hear the tables adjacent to us. AND got to watch the Dallas vs Tampa Bay game. Lemon drop martini (equivalent to 2 martinis), and glass of ZD Chard paired well with prawns (grilled), excellent, Chilean sea bass (panko/parm crusted) and lobster mashed potatoes - all cooked to perfection and timed well. Overall a wonderful evening with my husband.
