Frequent diner and will continue to go back. Service can vary extensively. Over the years it’s has seemed the most “off” during the holiday season and the latest trip showed no improvement there. Drinks and food service incredibly slow, despite the restaurant not seeming terribly chaotic on a Tuesday in December. Pricing is disproportionately high for the area and continues to outpace average at a best service and dining experience.
