    Like a supper club on a lovely Saturday evening. Almost full dining room by 8 pm. Dinner was delicious- the specials especially creative and very enjoyed. At 8:15 pm, there was piano and a singing duet / I would have preferred just the sound of the piano and do not think it needed to be amplified.

    The food was ok. Loved the ambiance. My date and i was able to enjoy a quiet dinner where we got to talk. But my problem was, even though the place was empty at the time, the servers and hosts were trying to kick us out even though there was only 2 other people there…you know when they keep coming to the table taking things away…pretty much hinting to go…it’s not like anyone else was waiting for our table. But i digress. Still a good dinner with my date. Thanks
