My husband and I enjoyed our dinner experience. We went the day after Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was more crowded than I expected. The tables were too close to each other which put a damper on having any type of private conversation. It appeared tables were added in areas that would normally not be there to accommodate the number of people dining. That was the one disappointing part of our evening. The service and food was exceptional.
