    The food was enjoyable but we felt rushed through dinner. Multiple check ins to see if we’re still eating, even though it was obvious we were not finished with our appetizers and/ or dinner. My dinner reservation indicated that this was a business meal yet my business guest continued to be physically touched on the shoulder and back by the server every time he approached. Very uncalled for behavior that made us both uncomfortable and essentially made us leave early. I would appreciate an opportunity to address this issue with management.

    Quiet date night, wonderful experience. The food and service consistently excellent. Great selection of wines, and menu items are plentiful, with interesting specials. Water and wine poured throughout the evening, table crumbed and utensils replenished accordingly. Never having to wait for a check. These fore mentioned things are important to us and so we return often. Thank you LG and staff for making out time with you a pleasure.
