    We love this place and have been many times. There a delay in getting our food served after enjoying wonderful French onion soup. We never complained and in fact, were just enjoying our cocktails when the manager came by to apologize and bought us another round of drinks. I love keeping us informed and offering a service recovery. Entree was great- another enjoyable meal.
