    I believe I might have given this place a previous review but feel the need to indicate the high level of food and service on this particular occasion. Although it was a busy Sunday evening which also included a fairly large party in one section, as soon as we sat down we were given water, bread and an ice bucket for our wine. The waitress was one of the best we have encountered anywhere, providing personable and efficient service without being overbearing. Our party of 4 had a variety of dishes - seafood pasta, salmon and lobster ravioli- all of which were excellent with large portions. The molten lava cake at the end might be the best desert I have ever had! This remains our go to restaurant due to its consistent high quality.
