I had a great lunch with a best friend, & we enjoyed fantastic service & really good food. We were in the atrium (that’s what was available when I made the reservation 2 weeks ago), & it was very loud in there. That said, 6-8 men were seated at the large table next to us, & they had loud voices, & drowned out the sound of any of the other tables, so perhaps it was just the dynamics of that situation. It might not be so noisy in that room on any other day.

This was our second time visiting the restaurant and it was as good or better than our first visit. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable. Food is excellent. There was a large party near us which is the only reason that I said that the noise level was a bit high. Fantastic restaurant!
