We enjoyed the upscale ambience of the new stuffed olive. The food is as good as ever and the service excellent. It’s quiet so you can talk without any difficulty. I like all the different seating choices.

My only disappointment tonight was that I had asked through OpenTable specifically that we be located as close to the front door as possible since my dinner companion had difficulty walking with a cane. So instead, we were seated on the opposite end of the restaurant other than that it was absolutely the great food I have experienced before, and the service second to none.
