    We went anticipating the pork chop dish which did not disappoint. It was incredibly succulent and flavorful, just as we had remembered it. The cooked onion, shaped as a flower, was just the right tenderness and mild flavor. But the sautéed beans were undercooked for our taste, while the roasted potatoes were overcooked and therefore tough. Not deal breakers and hopefully an off night only. Desert was delicious if not pricey. The staff was gracious and attentive without being intrusive. The description of the atmosphere as being "energetic" may be true but "loud" would be more accurate. Next time we"ll try the outdoor seating.
