    The service is efficient, helpful but unobtrusive. The servers know their job but if not, not afraid to get help. Honest! The food was amazing - an eclectic, complementary mixture of flavors with the sea bass and beef dishes being exceptional. All in all a memorable evening and one we look forward to repeating.

    The service was excellent (casual but attentive), and the food was delicious. My wife was delighted with the specific gluten free menu which had been prepared for her.
