    The dining experience is great, the food was very good, but the music is sometimes too loud for a nice dining room and last night was an example.

    Everything we ordered for appetizers and dinners was very good except for the pizza. The pizza crust was soggy. My only comment is that our dinner could’ve been better if there were fewer mistakes with what we ordered and what was brought out to us. We were brought an appetizer that we did not order, and we had to ask about it. Two of us did not get our desserts until we asked for them. The water for the tea was warm. They were nice enough to warm my milk for the tea, but the temperature was so off that the milk curdled in my tea. The way they serve their customers seems a little confusing to both staff and customers. I only notice one waitress and a few runners. The runners seem confused as to who ordered what and if everything was delivered accurately. I think they need to refine their system.
