First visit back since new chef and management. Went there for our anniversary. Staff went over and beyond to make it a special occasion for us. Food and atmosphere was not disappointing. With the remodel they added more seating which was an issue before but kept the charm and nostalgic feeling. Very nice fine dining experience.
