    The ambiance of the restaurant was great, there was a nice bar downstairs off the dining room, however, we arrived at 6:15 for 6:30 reservations, nearly half the bar had "reserved" on the seats, which it turns out was the owner, reserving seats for friends. No one sat in those seats for the 20 minutes or so we were at the bar and I wasn't allowed to even sit in one of the seats just to have a drink with my wife (who was sitting in the only non reserved open seat), while we waited for a table. That sort of put me off a bit. I understand reserving seats, but if someone's there to have a drink before dinner, is it that big a deal to let him sit down in the seat? If the people that they were reserved for showed up, I, and I believe anyone else, would have quickly relinquished the seat. He's the owner and he can do what he wants, but that was a bit off putting to me and tainted our overall experience.

    The food was flavorful and there were so many unique options on the menu along with some classics. Our waitress, Annabelle, was so nice and attentive, along with its the rest of the staff. This was our first time going and will definitely go back to try some of the other menu options. Thanks for a great night!
