Server was excellent. Quick, personable, happy and knowledgable. Food and drinks great. Reason for 4 instead of 5 stars……….front desk hostess. She was slow, distracted and took 15 minutes after our reservation time to seat us. Restaurant was not busy. Many tables open and only a few people waiting. We had to ask 3 times to be seated.
