However, the seating can be a bit tight, and the noise level can get a little high at times. Despite that, it's a dependable spot that I enjoy overall.

Someone needs to tell them plywood paneling-even shiny plywood paneling-is not appropriate decor for a nice restaurant. And the art is equally awful, making theplace feel even cheaper. But their prices aren?t cheap. And don?t get me started on the bathroom- it was clean but there werestill bits of plastic wrapping on the stalls. Just an another example of how little thought went into their aesthetics. Thefood was fine. My favorite part of my meal was the olive and garlic spread for the complimentary bread. And that?s why they getthree stars, rather than two.
