    We were late of our reservation. We called to let them know. They graciously seated us with the next seating. The receptionist and all servers were warm and friendly. Our server recommended a lovely wine that I loved based on some wines I’ve liked in the past. He obviously has a good knowledge of not only the wines on their menu but other popular wines. Overall it was such a great experience. Highly recommend
