It was an overall excellent experience! The noise and chatter was a bit much at times, but the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Our server was very attentive, polite and professional. The valet parking was fairly seamless, and they have it set up to where the server can have valet bring your car around front when you're getting the check and about ready to go; which was convenient. I'll definitely come back in the future.
