The new owners have dialed in the food and it was very good. The service was a bit scattered and hectic as the servers were trying to get to everyone. It was not a relaxed atmoshere. We felt rushed. There was a large party of 16-20 people who were very loud and that added to the hectic environment. Next time we'll ask for a table somewhere in a corner or outside.
