    We dine here a lot but this past time it took a really long time for our order to come out of the kitchen. We sat at the table for 2 hours which included eating dinner. We probably waited over an hour for our food. The food is great and this has never happened before. Hopefully it was a one time occurrence.

    The food and pricing were good. The service was excellent considering how busy they were. The noise level made any conversation very difficult.
