The restaurant is outstanding and beautiful. The food is outstanding. The service was a little slow at first, especially for a Monday night (but it was packed, on a Monday night!) And the line cook salting the crispy potatoes was waaaaay too heavy handed. I politely and not even remotely annoyed mentioned it to the server and they comped both the potatoes and one of our desserts, which was totally unnecessary and unexpected. We would come back again and again. In fact this is my second trip!

The service was very friendly, we wanted some time to talk before ordering food. She got and brought our drink order and checked in periodically until we were ready to order. She continued to check if we needed anything until we were finished. The burgers and grilled cheese were excellent.
