    Scott M was our server. He was knowledgable and guided us from the perfect wine choice to entree. I am still thinking of the halibut a day later. We could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our experience. My adult son requires assistance due to a brain disorder. He does not appear to need assistance until he is asked a question. Scott was kind and patient without condescension nor did he need an explanation. My faith in humanity and exceptional food has been restored. Thank you
