    The scallops and risotto were outstanding. The ambience is top notch. The service was good. Express Martini with Baileys added, superb. Old Fashion- not my favorite.

    Geist is great and normally a relaxed atmosphere, but on this occasion there was a large group of that yelled throughout dinner and made it difficult to talk to someone across the table.
