Use valet parking otherwise it's a haul from the back 40. Good for the loud party crowd....altercation outside, dropped glasses by patrons...not-so-good for friends to gather for conversation and a dining experience.
Our group had a 45m wait on a Fri eve. Most of the lovely outdoor space was reserved for an after-party. $70 for one round of pre-dinner cocktails. We were seated inside at a booth along the front wall, next to the bar. We had to forget about having any sort of conversation. The food was ok. Service lacking warmth.
