Our server was Luis who was very pleasant (had to flag him down a couple times but overall did a great job). Drinks were served fairly quickly (old fashions and black manhattans were tasty). Started with the bread and butter. 3 types of "toppings" on the butter and it was a fun way to start the meal with warm bread. Then we shared a caesar salad that was prepared with some crispy cheese on top and not drenched in dressing. The lobster bisque was like a miso soup meets bisque, different and good but not sure if I would get it again. I had the filet and my wife had the salmon with the skin cooked to a crisp and both were cooked beautifully. Highly recommend.

Went for brunch on a Sunday, late morning, and although the prices were reasonable the food wasn't very tasty. Our server was not real attentive, unsure if he had a lot of tables as my back was to the dining area. He was so slow at bringing our check, that we went past our two hour time limit for parking and had to pay the extra $2. Would I try this place again? Probably, but would lower my expectations.
