    The food was delicious, the waitress was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was pleasant. My only quibble is that it’s noisy, and it can be hard to hear your tablemates through the ambient noise. Some baffles on the ceiling would go a long way.

    Claires' meal was delicious. The Salmon, Wahoo, Bourbon Shrimp Alfredo, and steak were spiced perfectly. The Salmon and Wahoo contained a generous portion. The service was exceptional. We were there for a special occasion and had a very special meal.

    Totally full restaurant, but after slight delay in seating at requested outside garden we totally enjoyed the evening. The band was great as background in the beautiful surroundings without overpowering sound. The drawback on service was asking for a plate with each service after saying we were sharing all the. selections. Always have enjoyed the irregular visits to this train station restaurant ambiance and great food but the garden experience was fantastic.
