    We had been meaning to try this restaurant for a while. We had a very pleasant meal but even though it wasn't crowded, the noise level was very high. We asked to have our salad divided 3 ways and they did it perfectly. The food was well prepared and tasty. Service was outstanding, our waiter did an excellent job.
