Dined in Monday evening, many open tables so my reservation was not necessary.
The food was good but the service was below average.
It seemed like our female server did not really want to be there.

Michael did a great job with suggestions. I went with happy hour lobster bisque with shrimp. Filet mignon and white truffle pizza. My co-worker got the swordfish. Everything was delicious!
