Very quiet the evening we decided to eat. Asked if the bartender could put on some music to cut through the silence. Salad starter was nicely presented, fresh and tasty. My wife’s main course (filet) was cooked to order and delicious according to her. Unfortunately, my chicken main was a little dried out but the balance of the meal was very good. Portions were adequate. Overall good experience.
