First time there. My companion had been before. The food was okay no complaints about the food or how it was prepared. It also came quickly. Our server who never told us her name was very underwhelming. She just popped up at the table no greeting and simply said "what are you having or would you like more time". She didn't reference the specials on the written menu at all. When we ordered, there was no okay or thanks or any words other than let me grab these menus. She took them and walked away.

Not hurried and well served, conversation was possible and kept our party there until we were ready to leave before it was busy. The ample seating indicates they can accommodate many more guests. Reservations or a wait may be expected at times. Not certain about that, though with food and service this good it must be bustling! Easy entrance and exit from...
