We had reserved for a party of 17, but two canceled at the last minute so we had 15. It was an awkward set-up as, while we greatly preferred to sit at a long rectangular table, they had set up a large round table at the end of a shorter rectangle. The large round table did not really work for us. People at the rd table felt isolated. The manager, to his credit, recognized the awkwardness and comped us some apps. Very kind of him. Food as always was great. Altho the server was very busy and it was hard for her to give us the attention we needed - water, napkins, Togo containers, etc. We love malnatis tho. Will definitely try again.
