    The food was very good. The ambiance was lovely, quite festive! We wished that we were offered a glass of wine, since drinking a whole bottle would not have been wise since we drove from the Cape.It also would have made the $50 prix fix a little more of a value. I guessed, upon reflection, we could have gotten one from the bar but it wasn't offered? Our visit was slightly tainted because service was a lacking. I said things a couple of times but the server did not take the tIme to understand what I was trying to convey. For example: I asked for greek salad, but he was off and gone before I could ask for dressing on the side. Also, some oil had spilled and I asked if he could wipe it up before setting down dessert but he turned and took the dessert away!?? We did feel rushed, so that took away from the pleasantly if the visit.

    We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.
