My husband and I arrived at the establishment at 12:15 PM, with a reservation scheduled for 1:00 PM. I inquired whether it would be possible to be seated earlier than the reserved time, and the staff member graciously accommodated our request, seating us immediately. I was pleasantly surprised, particularly as the guests who preceded us expressed dissatisfaction regarding the seating policy; they were informed that only holders of platinum or gold cards could be seated promptly, requiring others to wait between 45 minutes to one hour. I am genuinely appreciative of the prompt seating and found our server to be exceptionally friendly, displaying a welcoming demeanor throughout our experience. We fully intend to return in the future, and I would confidently rate this visit as deserving of five stars.
