The service last night was mediocre. I had to flag down a server to get a refill for my wife, and no one came to check if our food was satisfactory. However, the food was good!

Good food; great value. Our server, Carlos, was very good despite the many tables he seemed responsible for. He promised us that he would manage timing so that we could get to Orchestra Hall timely and he kept his word. Well done, Carlos! We’ll be back.
