    We celebrated my friend's 87th Birthday and the food and service was great! I was a bit disappointed because they asked during the reservation process and when we arrived if we were celebrating anything...and the answer was 'yes'...however there was no overtures for her birthday!

    Food was good but our service tonight was unacceptable. They had 2 separate private functions going on and did not have enough help on hand to handle both those and other diners. We waited far too long for drinks and servers did not return to table to check on us.

    We had a reservation at 7:00. They finally sat us at 8:10. The staff did the best they could to accommodate us but when you have a reservation and they seat your over an hour late it’s pretty inexcusable.
