    Food is always quite good and nice variety. Service is very slow and disorganized. Three people were acting as host and yet a lineup of three tables stood for ten minutes despite the fact that tables were open. Host insisted that tables be seated in the order they arrived despite five tables for two being empty for our party of two, so we had to wait until a table for six was cleared for that group before we could be seated. Not the end of the world but frustrating especially with an elderly parent in tow. The whole meal was very slow. Staff sat around talking a fair amount. I’m not against people taking little breaks but please do it after everyone has been checked on. Seems like they need to work on their systems. Because the food is great.

    We love it here! The service is always great, and the food is amazing. The patio or are bar are our favorite places to sit, and we always try to save room for the Blondie Brownie for dessert!

    Even with having a reservation, we still waited quite a while before being seated. Waiter was not very attentive. Didn't check back in, had to ask others for needs and took even longer to bring the check. Food was good though.
