We usually love this restaurant, but on this occasion our table was near the bar and the bar area was completely over capacity. So much so, that we had a large group of people constantly knocking into our table and standing an inch away from us. The crowd was so thick that our server couldn’t even get through to bring us our food and drinks.There was literally no space to walk between our table and the bar. We were surprised and disappointed that the manager didn’t ask the crowd to disperse since it was interfering with the dining area and made it impossible to enjoy our meal. It certainly compromised our dining experience, especially considering the cost of dining here.

The food and service were wonderful. I am a vegetarian and did not see a dinner that was meatless. The chef prepared a vegetable gnocchi specifically for me. It was fabulous and much appreciated!

The Tasting Room remains a wonderful place to dine. We had lunch there today, and the food was excellent, plus the service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is also decorated very nicely for the holidays and has reupholstered the banquettes.
