Food was good, not excellent; staff was very friendly & helpful; indoor atmosphere is nursing-home drab, but the patio is really nice. Biggest complaint: I called twice to make a reservation (once to change the time, and the second to confirm the reservation a day later), and each time we were told about the required business/formal attire, only to witness people in jeans and sneakers having dinner around us. If you're enforcing rules, they need to be consistent, especially if you're charging $30/plate for dinner.
