Food was really good, restaurant had an old elegant feel about it. Kind of like what I like imagine elegant restaurants from the 70’s looked like. Tables were close and tight as far as space between other tables. Server/waiter was decent and service was pretty quick. Definitely make a reservation as restaurant was packed this Saturday evening. I will come back! There is a parking garage attached to building and parking was about 12.99.
