Food is pretty good, or at least the last time we actually ate there it was. Service has varied from o.k. to poor in the 3 or 4 times we actually ate there. We had 7:15 reservations Friday night and at 8:00 we still weren't seated. I won't return for the following reasons: 1. The front of the house is inept, to say the least. Our first visit was right after they opened, and I excused the incompetence as part of the learning curve. They haven't improved with time. 2. The noise level in the bar area makes it pointless to try to carry on a conversation. Outside is best, and the dining room in the rear has been acceptable in the past. Bottom line - meals aren't cheap here and for your money, you can do better at a lot of other places.
