    had mothers day dinner. place was packed and we had a reservation that did not seat us until 20 minutes later. however, as busy as it was, that was understandable. had drinks at the bar while waiting and the bartenders were great and friendly. once seated, we had excellent service. the waitress was very attentive and although very busy, kept us happy. the chef was entertaining and cooked us a very good meal that was not too salty. overall very happy. food was pricey but you do get a show with it. the restaurant was packed and lively and i was amazed that the restaurant did such a good job being organized, well staffed and accommodating.
