    Great service, food was very good. A bit pricey, with one of those annoying 3% "benefits" surcharges. Our waiter did confirm the restaurant provides health coverage. But no other benefits. Lovely semi-outdoor patio. Great place when you want atmosphere, service and the ability to socialize with your companions.
