Overall good - however, the server was serving too many tables and therefore we did not get the service from Sean as we deserved as paying customers. In fact, we waited for over 10 minutes to get silverware for the table, finally I got up and went to the kitchen to pick the forks and knives for the table - so there is an opportunity for improvement.
