The service was great. The food was delicious. We ordered the chicken, braised in red wine with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The menu didn’t say that it was a quarter chicken leg. Would have preferred boneless. The restaurant was crowded but not with people. The seating was very crowded and it was very difficult to have a decent conversation. The people near us were very loud and we were so close that we could smell the alcohol on their breath. This was even before they had ordered their appetizers and dinner and drinks.
