This was our first time eating at this restaurant and we very much enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent, the food was great and the ambiance was nice. The only downside was we were seated downstairs in a far dining room and I had my 80yr. old mother with me. There was seating upstairs but they sat us downstairs and the stairs were very difficult for her. If you have someone who can't walk well you should request to sit upstairs. Other than this, it was excellent.

Love this place. Food is great and staff are so kind and attentive. Not sure why they cram tables so close to door. I get wanting to maximize space but makes for an unpleasant experience on what would otherwise be so great.
