Accidentally booked reservation for four at 8:00 instead of for five at 7:00. Went in with my work team and they made accommodations and set us down within 10 minutes. Very satisfied always.

Our server was wonderful and accommodating. All the staff were very kind and helpful. They accommodated some special requests and all of our food came out delicious. Portion sizes were more than ample. There were some problems with our order and a little bit of delay in the service because things were quite busy. Without us asking they offered us a free dessert, which was neither expected nor necessary, but very much appreciated. The dessert was incredible, by the way.

This was the best experience I've had here in the last 6 visits. This time they put us in the main room where there was no dripping water. We waited a reasonable amount of time and the server was pleasant. Our chef cooked our food properly and our table mates were really fun. It's been difficult to have an enjoyable experience here but this one was actually a good one.
