Good and service were great but made my reservation at 7:45 online and called to increase the number and spoke to a hostess. The day of our dinner we sat down and were told we had 5 minutes before the kitchen closed!!! It was a graduation celebration that felt rushed due to kitchen closing. I would think they would t take a reservation. that close to kitchen closing g or at least when I spoke to the hostess on the phone it would have made sense for her to tell me that. Anyway just something to consider.
