Normally I'd give this place 4 or 5 stars but this is based in our last dinning experience. Made reservations for Christmas eve. I know not the best time to judge a restaurant but we've been here before for Christmas Eve and have had good experiences. This time when we got there 10 minutes early we were told our table would not be ready and we could sit at a high top. Not what we made the reservation for - sitting in the bar at a high top. About 40 minutes later we were finally seated. To their credit they offered the 5 of us a complimentary drink from the bar but since most in our party don't drink we declined. They did give us free appetizers - zucchini and calamari. Not one serving each but two! And our waitress, knowing of our situation, was over-the-top polite and willing to serve us in any way. Everyone else's meal was good but my NY strip steak was tough and didn't have much flavor. I'm glad this wasn't my first experience here.
