    Made last minute reservations on the afternoon of Valentine's Day. The place of hopping with families, I was with my 3 granddaughters. We were seated right away. Our server was outstanding - checking in frequently when passing by to assist other patrons. The table runners were friendly and efficient. Food came out hot, especially appreciated that the soup was delivered hot as that has not been the case in other establishments. Food was prepared well and very good. Even though there were people waiting, I never felt rushed at all during the meal. Very pleased with the entire experience.
