We went last Sunday. Although the place was packed we were seated immediately. The servers pulling out our chars. Even for my husband, which confused him for a moment. The server arrived at out table and explained how the experience worked. My husband and daughter went to the salad bar, and I reviewed the wine list. The amazing bread was delivered. I ordered the wine off the extensive and well priced list. Explained when I wanted it to arrive, and joined them at the salad bar. The selections are described by others we loved it. By the time I arrived to my table, less than 3 min. The wine glasses were placed. My chair was pulled out again, as it was each time we got up. Seconds after my husband put down his flatware his plate was whisked away, and replaced. He did not even see it happen. The same happened for my daughter and I, but we were watching( having laughed at him). The side dishes were placed, The the main event began. Our waiter appeared with the wine I had ordered to go with the meat. He decanted it, and poured for us. We flipped our coasters over and the service began. I can not possibly describe all of the 15 selections, except to say the bacon wrapped meat was dry, but everything else was well seasoned and amazing. The lamb especially. One of the servers learned I like rare lamb and when ever he had some came to me to see if I wanted more( even when I had a red coaster.) Our plates were replaced many times so many I felt for the dishwashers. We were there form 5:30 to 8:30 and felt as if we were welcome to stay all night. We will be going back.
Pros: Service, food, ambience, feeling like a celberty.
Cons: potatos were watery and unapitising. Not for small or even med. appatites.
