    Not a great experience. First I reserved an outdoor table but was informed that there was a party and the planner forgot to block out my table so I was forced inside. Second the Drinks while good took far too long to reach us. Lastly the food which was average took over an hour to be served. I was told that there were a lo of large groups so the kitchen was backed up. I wont be returning.

    Ran out of Brussel Sprouts, pizza oven was broke so no pizza and the didn't carry malibu rum so basically everything i wanted they didn't have. I didn't complain I just figured it would be just a soso dinner. However, our server Hamen was AMAZING and the manager Zack (i think) was too. The manager comp'd us an appetizer on his own without prompting and Hamen made our visit. We will definitely be back.

    We went for Easter brunch and had a great experience. We sat outside, which was perfect for the weather. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was really good. A little on the pricey side, but honestly, what isn’t these days? Worth it for a nice holiday meal.

    Really disappointing dinner. We had family visiting and staying at a nearby hotel. This restaurant seemed like a perfect spot to meet on a Saturday night, but I was wrong. It was the tail end of spring break week, so the restaurant wasn’t busy at all. Five people at the bar, and a few other tables. Nowhere near full, and plenty of staff. They had 3 hostesses just standing around, and 2 bartenders. It took 15 minutes for anyone to come and take our drink orders, and another 15 minutes before the drinks arrived. We only had entrees, and they took over 45 mins to arrive (from the point that we actually got to order). During all the time that we were waiting, our waiter never checked on us. He never once refilled our water glasses or checked to see if we needed/wanted anything else. The food was okay; definitely not tasty enough to make up for the complete lack of service.

    The server was horrible. It took forever for her to greet our table and then get water and beers. Food also took about 30 minutes for a flatbread, but it tasted fantastic.
