This was an overall great experience. Service and food were great and the seating comfortable. When we arrived we were struck by the very high noise level which sometimes makes it hard for a conversation. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening. All the staff was very friendly, cheerful and efficient. Thank you!
