This was our first visit. The food was quite good--I had the pork shoulder, and the restaurant made a vegetarian entree for my fiancee. We also started with a plate of three cheeses. Unfortunately, the portion sizes on that plate were miniscule. Our server was friendly, but not terribly knowledgeable. For example, he couldn't tell us anything about more than half of the cheeses, and he didn't really know about the wine list. The aspect that really annoyed me, however, was the restaurant's decision to impose an 18% "service fee" on ALL checks. Thus, the restaurant has removed any discretion over what used to be a gratuity and has made it a mandatory amount. I'm more than a fair tipper, so this really serves no purpose other than to antagonize me; it is as if the restaurant believes I'm too immature to properly calculate a tip or adjust the tip to account for the service provided.
