Our server, Akin, did an outstanding job. From the moment he greeted our party of 6, I knew we would have an enjoyable meal. We had cocktails, appetizers, and entrées. Suggestions from Akin were spot on. It was all delicious, especially the panseared halibut and the special rye cocktail. The ambience is very nice but the open concept makes for a somewhat noisy dining experience with kitchen and bar noise in the background. That said, the holiday music was at an appropriate level and we could easily talk amongst ourselves at the table. Overall it was a lovely experience. Please share our thanks with Akin.
