Date & Time visited: Saturday, April 9, 2005, 9:00 PM
Guests: Jennifer and me
What we had: Caesar salad, Crab-stuffed Salmon [me], Filet Mignon [Jen], Creme Brulee.

Service: Fair. At least twenty minutes passed between placing our order and the server arriving with the table-side Caesar salad makings. After that, though, the rest of the meal went smoothly. However, a large and boisterous party next to us made the first half of our meal less than pleasant. After they left, the innate atmosphere of the restaurant became more apparent.

The crab-stuffed salmon was excellent, and Jennifer tells me her steak was among the best she'd had. The Caesar salad was, as noted, prepared tableside in the traditional manner. The vanilla Creme Brulee dessert was also very good.

Would we go back: Yes. This was a birthday dinner for Jennifer and despite the problems described above, we quite enjoyed our visit.
