    Pricey, ordered to go and a couple of things important to the meal were missing. Ordered a large salad and got the smaller one, I know because I also ordered a separate smaller salad so I had comparison. The service at the bread counter was excellent. The bread was excellent.. The people in the back messed up the order neglecting thing like the aus jus for the French dip. Food was just okay and extrodinairraily expensive.
