We were a group of five for lunch. Of course, our salads were delicious and very generous! The service was also wonderful. Our server Eric was friendly, professional, and accommodated all our specific requests about our salads. He checked on us regularly making sure we had everything we needed. He brought our coffees and our check promptly. We stayed a long time chatting - reunion of old friends- and had a lovely experience.

It is a great restaurant from top to bottom. Wonderful appetizers through main entree through desert. They could update the glasses of wine choices. Also they should slow down the serving between courses by about 5 to 10 minutes.
