    We went early, so the noise level was fine. Does get louder as the evening goes on. Food and service was too notch as we’ve come to expect. We were not disappointed and will be back.

    Flavor of food was great as usual but my sea bass entre’ was luke -warm at best. The prime rib was supposed to be medium-rare but it was barely pink. It took longer than usual to receive our main entre’ (over an hour from when we ordered). Noise level was loud, hard to have a conversation. We’ve dined here many times, but this experience was our first with a holiday prefix menu , it was a little chaotic and service was not what I’m used to from this place. Won’t return for a prefix menu even though the choices were appropriate and varied.
