    Super friendly, considerate and attentive staff. This was a date, and the hostess let me survey the seating and pick my own spot. The waitress allowed us ample time to settle in and chit chat, giving space, but always ready to help. I had the duck with a nice petit Syrah, and my date, a cocktail and the roasted chicken. A little noisy, but a positive vibe. Great job!
