We had a group of 8 ladies for lunch. I neglected to ask for a round table. Also, we went at 12:30 instead of 1:30, when it would have been quieter. All of the food was good....the beet salad was outstanding. At our rectangular table, it was very hard to converse with everyone, plus it was very noisy.

A wide variety of choices. Waiter was very knowledgeable about the whole menu. The only thing that wasn't a 10 was the bread that came prior to the meal. Our appetizer, entrees and desserts were all excellent. We will definitely be returning for another meal.
