Very good lunch for two: Turkey Chile and Prime Burger. Very good service. Seating was problematic. It was impossible to pull the chair out from under the table the conventional way because of space. Had to awkwardly move the chair to the side to be seated.

Had a coupon from Hugo Boss. At first the waiter was not happy about it and went to check with management. Once it was clear that the coupon was acceptable he was an attentive waiter. The food was great especially the curried peanuts!
