    We were not welcomed very nicely initially by hostess who said we had no reservation despite the fact that we had multiple email confirmations. When she did find our reservation there was no apology for the rude treatment- like we were infiltrators. Not a good start after over an hour drive. It was a noted birthday celebration and our assigned table had the chairs angled partially in the middle of a main isle. They did offer to have us wait 1/2 hour and ultimately give us a very nice booth and a glass of champagne while we waited. All food was outstanding with the exception of the lobster which was served in an underdone for me translucent state in the middle. It was replaced but still not cooked quite all the way through. They did take off the lobster up charge and brought a beautiful cake over for my husbands birthday. Service in the dining room was phenomenal and all the flavors were absolutely delicious.
