We were VERY pleased with the sound proofing which allowed the ambient noise to be very diminished. We celebrated a birthday and our server remembered and brought a candle and song! I was very glad I made a reservation for a Tuesday night, and would recommend the same for any night of the week!

They had no flavor - I even gave some to my friends to make sure it wasn't me. Was a big decision to spend $40 on a meal that was tasteless. I did enjoy the mashed potatoes and broccoli (that I had to pay extra for).

Service was also excellent, although the restaurant was quite busy and it took longer to have our meals delivered than we anticipated. We had scheduled dinner before a concert engagement with plenty of time, and were only just in time for the concert. If planning on a Saturday night, allow a bit of extra time. But everything was EXCELLENT!!!
