The staff was very friendly and attentive. Beware: the portion sizes are very large. The RR Chopped salad with chicken ispacked with flavor and a fun array of accompanying vegetables. However, I felt like I was eating an entire bag of roman salad...I paired the salad with the asparagus. It was delicious, but again, I feel like I was given two bushels of asparagus. Fordessert, I ordered the key lime pie. The slice was a super size me size, it was bigger than my hand.

Disappointed the runner did not know the cheeses or the meats on the charcuterie board. Bloody Mary cocktails were only adequate. We ate indoors because it was raining. The room is attractive, though a little loud. Accessibility Alert: There was a person with a walker in another dining group. She was unable to find an elevator and getting down the stairs was a challenge. We searched for the elevator, to no avail. If there is one, we couldn’t locate it and there was no staff in street level lobby to help.

I found the menu somewhatlimited, but once you decide you probably made a good choice.
