Although many of the dishes weren't meant for a vegetarian, the waiter was very patient and helpful in finding dishes that would meet my needs. I had only an appetizer but I was waited on as if I were ordering the most extravagant items on the menu.

So the movie connection was fun ... but the food and the wait staff were fantastic. Americans on holiday celebrating many wedded years were afforded consistent attention, guidance and warm courtesy. Every suggestion and dish was beyond what was described and we were treated as favorite customers.

The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and served promptly. The service was excellent even though the restaurant wasn't busy. read more The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and served promptly. The service was excellent even though the restaurant wasn't busy.
