    This was our second , and much anticipated, visit. The food was exceptional as before, however, it took over an hour to receive our second course and another 30 plus minutes for our 3rd course. While waiting we watched numerous table get seated after us and finish their meal before us. No one ever apologized for the delay. I would expect more from a restaurant that is focused on providing a top experience overall.

    We love the new location! The good was great as always! For a restuarant only in this new venue for 2 weeks and many new staff, because of the additional capacity, our total experience was GREAT! We got to chat with the table next to us but also enjoy a delicious meal and our private conversations. Congratulations on the move!!
