Overall food was excellent as usual. Service was also very good. However, the idea that if something unexpected happened and we had to cancel or change we would be charged $80 was absolutely OFFENSIVE and has now moved a place we liked to go to a place I will only reserve if our kids are visiting and request it. There are plenty of other restaurants that are not extortionists in their reservations. VERY UNFORTUNATE for a place that was prior a favorite.

The four of us had the opportunity to dine out here. We would say that the food was very average. Service was spotty and it was very loud. Not sure we would go back.

This place has gone downhill. The lolipop lamb chops were our favorite. There was so much bone and gristle, they were almost inedible. Service was awful. We won’t return.
