Usually very loud and noisy at dinner. This evening it was quiet and relaxing. Probably not good for establishment, but a quiet delight for the diners. Maybe first snow storm kept people at home.

Service was excellent. My swordfish was very good but my partners ambassador steak was grisly and tough. A big disappointment.
