    Our waiter, Cody, was absolutely wonderful. He was welcoming and responsive to all our requests, offering tastes of different wines, bringing lots of pumpernickel bread ( my favorite ) , answering questions helpfully. He even encouraged us to linger . His cheerful attitude combined with careful attention enabled us to enjoy a magnificent dinner.
