    The hostess seemed bothered we even entered the door. We sat on the patio and it was a nice ambiance. I thought the food lacked flavor , but was warm on arrival. The waiter seemed mad when the two of us asked for separate checks. This is the first time I have given a poor review.

    Small, intimate dining area indoors. Very attentive wait staff. Parking might be a problem so walked to restaurant from a nearby hotel.
