    The waiters seemed rushed and annoyed; as if they knew what to do but couldn’t really be bothered. All else was excellent; as always

    Wonderful food and service and ambience. We have been so disappointed at so many supposed fine dining restaurants ever since Covid drove qualified people out of the industry, that we were very pleased that at least one restaurant has maintained its standards. Bravo to management, servers and kitchen staff. Can’t wait to eat there again!
