The food and service was very good. I wish they would turn the air conditioning temperature up. It was so cold. We would have been much more comfortable with winter coats on. There were many tables where the people were wearing coats and hoodies.

Such a great place for our group of 7, we could actually hear each other, see each other and have a conversation among our table instead of just the person next to you!
