Upon arrival we were greeted and seated pronunciation the host at the door. While the time at the restaurant began quietly, the noise level was fairly high by 7:30 pm. Our food was tasty and well-prepared. Our waitress was attentive, friendly and polite. There is a full bar and a thorough wine selection, but only one of us had alcohol this evening. It is a pleasant place to have good food.
