Excellent as always. We did have to wait quite a bit because the Hostesses sat us in the back which with all the available booths and tables up front. We didn't really get a server right away and feel that the Hostess should have sat us where there seems to be more servers ready. I think the Hostesses needs to guided by the management on seating since, we were placed way in the back with only one other group. I think there needs to be better understanding of where to seat people in the restaurant.
