Our experience was really good. Our server was fabulous. Friendly, proactive, responsive and thoughtful. She was actually the best server I’ve had in an eating establishment in forever. The food was great, fresh,tasty and well presented and the noise level was what I expected.

While I have eaten at this restaurant previously I have to say this time the food was disappointing. I ordered the post action crusted salmon with sweet potatoes fries and asparagus. The asparagus was limp and had a funny taste and I chose not to eat it. The salmon was a square which leads me to believe it was from a frozen box of salmon as the guy next to me ordered the same an hour later and got a filet. The salmon was over-cooked to the point of dried out. The sweet potatoes fries were fine. Had no spices or salt but were crispy. I ordered dessert it was good. The service was prompt and attentive. Think I will be finding other restaurants to meet at.
