We sat in the window on the first floor. The wait staff was very accommodating as we had 2 babies in our party of 7. The server was very polite and took our order slowly as we were ready one course at a time. The food was fantastic, and the drinks were poured generously. Everything was cooked correctly, and everyone enjoyed their meal.
