Great service; food was delicious - so was the lava cake. Wish they said thank you, or at least good night when we left. It felt a little awkward to leave, because we passed more than three waiters/manager-looking person on the way out literally in eye contact or moving to side to avoid us. Figuring that we spent $100 per person (including a child) with 20% tip, you know that is a little cold.
