    I reserved a table for our Anniversary dinner but when things went off the rails and the table we were promised was unavailable, the evening we had hoped for started looking out of reach. This is where the general manager, Will, stepped in. My husband explained the situation as we saw it, and It would be a gross understatement to say that Will went out of his way to guarantee the night got back on track. Will made sure we were provided one of the best servers we have ever had anywhere (Walter!!!) and got us a table the occasion deserved. He even wrote us a nice anniversary card which was extremely kind and thoughtful. The food was outstanding and the drinks are always spectacular, but the real heroes were Will and Walter for whom we are extremely grateful. We will absolutely be back and Untitled will always have us as customers while these two amazing individuals are around!!
