Was greeted promptly and seated right away. Different seating arrangements. The room was dimly lit. Could have used a little more light. The server was very professional and prompt. The menu had many choices. The price is slightly higher but probably typical for that level of service and restaurant. We were going to a Raps game and wanted to enjoy a restaurant with a higher star review. This place was great. I would recommend it.
