    Overall it’s a very reliable place to dine. Food is always good. Portions can be skimpy depending on what you order. The salad is not enough to split. Excellent service. Ask for a table that is not in the middle of the crowded tables. We think it’s a mistake not to offer complimentary bread when sitting down and waiting for your meal. To charge $9 - $11 for bread turned us off. If the restaurant is afraid of their guest wasting bread, have the waiter or server ASK if they want bread and here are your options. No question, we would definitely go back. When reserving through OPEN TABLE, we indicated that we were celebrating an Anniversary. Nothing was said or offered acknowledging the Anniversary.
