    The place was nice looking and inviting but way too bright for a dinner date. I felt like I was at lunch. The service was great - bartender and our server. I had to send my steak back as it was waaaaaay over salted and inedible. I didn't like that the chef came out and hand delivered my replacement and repeated several times, oh, so you wanted the low sodium steak?? No, I wanted an appropriately seasoned and edible one. The second steak was delicious and my date was happy with her food. Overall a good experience and I'd return.
