Extra Comment
An unusual aspect here is that the service (other than the hosts & hostesses at the door who were plain mean) was very pleasant! The servers actually came over when waved to, and don't walk away pretending they didn't see you. Rest assured that as usual, service and price do not affect my dish ratings. Never has and never will.
