    Service was slow even though it wasn’t busy. Server got part of out order wrong. Didn’t have the wine I ordered but offered a replacement…same thing happened to the table next to us. Menu was different than on website so between the wine and that we wasted a bit of time. Expected more for the price we paid.

    This was my 2nd time to dine here. The host was horrified that she did not give us a table by the window although both one was seating there. And out waiter over charged us. I asked for 5oz wine but was charged for 8oz price. They don't appreciate repeating customers. Dont over tip it or dont even leave any tips for the horrible service

    Restaurant was too crowded and too noisy to be rated higher. The food and service was fine, but too many tables and people jammed in made it feel like a noisy cafeteria. In addition, the choice of music (techno?) added to the frenetic tone of the dining experience. Not at all what we had hoped for.
