    Experience here highly dependant on server. Ours was excellent at this outing! Food was well prepared. While unavoidable, having dinner when there's a wedding on a saturday night did cause the delivery of high value service and was challenging. Management should be aware, or should know, when these situation arise and direct staff to additional service.

    Unfortunately, it was bad timing for us because of the water situation in Richmond. I’m sure everyone was trying their best.
