    The food is excellent. My only complaint is that my friend and I were seated at a table, not in the main room but close to the door. There were many tables available in the main room, in fact most of the tables were empty. I believe that since my friend and I are "ladies of a certain age" we were disrespected by being relegated to an undesirable table. And we resent this. If we had been men we would have been seated in the main room. I know this because when I go to this restaurant with my husband, we are seated at a good table IN THE MAIN ROOM.
