    We wanted a place that was quiet and a relaxed atmosphere, where we could talk. The friendly greeting as we entered was carried through to seating. The attentive service without hovering was nice and reminded us of how things were when we used to go out for dinner years ago. Nice to have a place that has great food and wine list and guaranteed a wonderful evening. This is the way service should be!
