    Great restaurant but totally short staffed when we went. We waited almost 1.5 hr for our food with waiters darting around lost. Albeit it was a graduation day, they should have been prepared as the tables had reservations. Shame as we have enjoyed this restaurant for many years. Gelato was excellent and management did give is $20 off for the inconveniences but the wait was ridiculous w a reservation.

    Went on graduation wkend. So we knew it would be busy, but busy doesn’t give it justice. They sat us by a huge portable AC unit on cinderblocks that was on top of a counter. Our table was up against the bar right next to the prep kitchen so we constantly had staff bumping into us. At 1 point a martini glass broke & shattered on our table. No one came over to help grab it until we flagged someone down. Not a huge deal, but my son was cut on the glass. The food was very good & Jake our server was fantastic. We laughed in spite of it all. After all we were there for a graduation celebration & in this day w/ all that’s going on in the world we were lucky to be out enjoying a meal as a family.

    We dined in one of the greenhouses which was fun. The food was delicious, although fairly expensive. The servers was nice and attentive. Inside was busy and loud so we were happy to be outside. All in all, a nice experience.

    Owner overbooks holidays causing chaos. We were told by servers he does this on purpose with no regard for people waiting outside in hot sun for a reservation that’s booked twice. It was an incredible S-show on Mother’s Day of all times. And the food isn’t even that great. Last time we will go here. I’m done.
