    Oscar our server was great. Music choice & sound level was horrible. Wine choices were nill if you enjoy California wines. Should have a few select choices. Probably will not return.

    We made a reservation weeks ago, but it felt like we were sitting in a bar area off to the side of the restaurant. The seating was oddly low for dinner, and was too dark. The food and service was amazing as always, but the seating did ruin the experience for us.

    Took my wife and mother to MDRD for their birthday and they put a nice card saying happy birthday on the table which was nice. I thought in the end they could have given them a little dessert (even if it’s some whip cream on a cookie I don’t care). They just gave us the check and that was it. I understand it’s not always standard I just thought on a 300 dollar bill they could afford a small bday token to make it feel like a special night. Was quite disappointed with that. Good food though which is was matters the most.
