    service and entre' were good and what was expected. the only downside was the dessert. we ordered the perfiterols that were supposed to be cream filled and one of the three had no filling whatsoever. we brought this to the server's attention and they gave us two additional perfiterols that were fine. We would go back to this location, but we would try the actual restaurant side first as some of the tables seemed a little too close to the cooler.
