For some reason it took a long time to get our drinks, the appetizer we ordered, artichoke dip (which I highly recommend) came to the table before our drinks did. Probably another 5 minutes or so after the dip came out that we got our drinks. We only had 3 alcohol drinks at our table of 5. Drinks were wonderful when we got them!! It was extremely loud in the dinning room. Making it hard to talk, we were at a round table and the person across from you couldn't hear what they said. Not sure if it would have been better on the bar side?? Or if it was just the night we were there?? I gave it 4 stars because of the loudness in the dinning room and the slow drinks. Everything else was amazing!!

Usually when we dine here, we sit in the bar and have had excellent experiences. This night, we told the hostess that we’d be happy in the bar (we saw open tables), but we were told we’re sitting in the main dining room. It was so loud that we nearly left immediately. Food was great as usual.

The worst thing was we were put in the back room, with worn out wooden tables and no one else in the room, a long ways from the wait staff and zero atmosphere. Felt like the kids that got put at a card table in the bedroom for thanksgiving. If I ever get put here again, I will just leave, and unfortunately it may be awhile before we comeback.
