                                        Made a reservation in advance requesting a window table or alternatively a quiet table. Upon arrival we saw an open window table for two but were escorted to the middle of a higher traffic choice of 3 tables. It was quite the opposite of what we were asking. Ten minutes after we sat down another couple were seated at the table by the window. The meals and our server were wonderful however if you are counting on a nice table for a special evening maybe call ahead and speak to a manager to confirm.
