The food and drink were top notch. Had a very nice and attentive waiter. A little pricey but worth it for a special occasion. The portions were huge! Lots of leftovers. We were not rushed at all. Some folks mentioned it was a little dark but once your eyes adjusted it was fine and elegant.

Zest was excellent! I had the salmon entree and it was delicious. Our server was courteous and had a wonderful attitude. She was there when we needed her and given the privacy when we did not. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
