Arrived a bit early for reservation and host accommodated us without a fuss or making us feel bad. Waitress heard us talking about parking and alerted us that we could receive validated parking with dinner. Parking was free. Food was tasty and I really enjoyed my sparkling rose that was chilled to right temperature. All and all a pleasant experience.
