The food, expertly prepared, was delicious, with staff, including hostess, server, and assistant, working well together to create a synergy to our benefit. Holiday ambience was woven nicely into the experience as ostensibly no patrons had canceled for the evening notwithstanding the snow coming down outside in ample quantity; thank God the cabs were all running on time.
