    Dinner was fantastic. Our server asked if we had any time restrictions, as they were busy and we had a show to get to. She was very straightforward about what could be done in time and what to avoid. We ordered accordingly and everything was top notch. Perfect portion size and we were in and out in less than 40 minutes on a busy Saturday night. We will be back!
