I have eaten at this restaurant many times over the last few years and have yet to be disappointed. Upon reviewing the two previous posts i would have to totally disagree with them and base there experience on a bad night!
I agree with a few of the other posters - stop giving this such high ratings. We had a reservation for 7:30pm and weren't even seated until 8:00pm. We were offered nothing - no excuse/reason or even a cocktail during our wait. When we finally got to the table, the host literally dropped the menus on the table and mumbled something to the effect that someone would be along shortly to take our order as he walked away. The dining room was so over-crowded and loud that I my chair was touching another's behind me, I couldn't here my partner talking, and the lighting was almost non-existent. We waited almost 15 minutes for a waiter, and nothing. We got up and left without a second glance from the staff. I will not be back.
