The service was unacceptable, after 25 minutes still did not get our cocktails. I had to call someone to find out where our order was, until then we received our order all together. Appetizer, salad and main dish, but we still had to ask for our cocktails. We were going to a concert and advised our server but to no avail.

Slow service, especially wait staff (gentlemen handling busing were on point). A bit loud from multiple music sources within the promenade. Food hitting as always.

Comfortable and casual (with a capital "C" for each). Absolutely loved the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. -- and the choice of jazz as ambience was well chosen.
