    The facility is beautiful. The noise level is high and makes it tough to hear conversation. The server was nice, and she took our drink order. After some time, she returned and said the bar was backed up. She then took our dinner order. Almost immediately after she left, our salads arrived, and then, shortly, our appetizer. Still no drinks. They finally arrived as did our meals. The entire dining experience was very rushed. The timing on the kitchen seemed to rush you out the door.

    Tuesday night was very busy, but service was good and attentive. Roasted Brussels appetizers were great, special salmon with tomato/basil sauce was outstanding! Always a great choice for dinner!
