    We dined here to celebrate my husband's birthday. We are very happy that we chose this restaurant. When we arrived early for our reservation, we had a drink in the bar area. The bartenders were most friendly and the piano music was lovely. Whisked away to our table on time, we were seated in a side room against the wall allowing for some privacy. Our server was excellent! When I inquired as to whether there was a smaller portion of the filet mignon available, he replied that indeed they offered a six ounce portion. All the food we ordered was cooked to perfection. The sommelier also assisted my husband in selecting a champagne to start and a terrific red wine to have with our main course. A huge piece of chocolate cake with a candle arrived for my husband. This is a birthday that we will always remember.
