"The portions were extremely small for the price. I gave 3 stars for the food only because the dessert saved the day. The service was extremely slow. We were there for 3 hours. Some waiters tried to take the food off the table before we were done. The broth that the entree cooked in was too spicy.
Overall I wouldn't go back."

"I took my wife here for a nice romantic evening and could not have been any happier. The food was great and the setting was perfect. The reason for the overall score being a 4 is because of the price."

"When we first walked in the hostess just barked out "do you have reservations?" When we told her we did we has to wait for a few minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was empty at 530. During the wait I overheard the hostess tell a customer on the phone they were all booked up for the night, although when we left at about 645 about half the tables were empty. Drink orders took some time. Waiter had only worked there for 2 weeks and the waiter at the table next to us had only worked there for a week. Food was good, but seemed rushed at times. I didn't know what to expect since I had never been here before. Didn't care for cooking my own food. We loved the dessert. I wouldn't go again unless my wife wanted to."
