    We had decided to valet, given the restaurant will validate. We were on a bit of a time crunch, and had to wait 10 minutes for someone to even show up to take our keys. The place itself is amazing and has a great vibe! The food was also great but the service was not so good. Our waiter never smiled or showed any eagerness during the time we spent there. We were on a bit of a time crunch since we had an appointment scheduled. We had an hour and 15 minutes to eat. Unfortunately, even after I shared this with them twice, I still had to go find them 10 minutes before our appointment time to check out. This was the case throughout most of the meal. I would have been a little more understanding, but there was only one other active table there in the entire place. They do not split checks, FYI.
