Adam, our waiter, was excellent; both efficient and personable. The food was quite good. Restaurant was virtually empty when we went, but think it would be loud when there’s a band performing live in stage. Lots of hard surfaces for sound to bounce. Great alternative to Fredericksburg restaurant and the beer and wine selection is good.
