    Service was near perfect, server provided all information. Chilean sea bass was perfect, great combination; halibut was near perfect, we only found the accompanying sauce to be a bit too much sodium. Side orders of roasted broccoli was very nice, brusell sprouts could have been cooked a bit more. Overall, excellent, loved the ambience, though energetic
