The very large black woman who greeted us was unprofessionally and inappropriately dressed for the position she held. Then she had to have help finding our reservation that we made 3 days before. Our waitress, Ellen, was pleasant at first, but got an attitude when I asked for bread. Another wait staff stepped in to answer my question, and Ellen bristled at that. Speckled trout is my favorite fish, and I've had it many times and also cooked it myself, but the trout last night was mediocre at best, and the presentation was poor. The meal was very expensive, $245.00.
