"I rated this restaurant 3 stars due to the absence of the atmosphere and character it once had. The food was, as always, excellent, and we’ve been dining here for over 20 years. There were large paper signs at the back door by the parking lot instructing customers to use the front door unless they had a disability. As a result, most people entered through the front, and despite the fire inside, it was quite cold. The service was table-only, which made me miss the locals chatting at the bar; it felt like I was still in the COVID era. I won't be in a hurry to return."
