Took a pretty long time after being seated to receive menus. Not sure if waitress forgot to put our food order in or if the business was understaffed, but after 50 minutes of waiting for our food we closed out our drinks and walked out. Was also a little disappointing seeing multiple people that arrived after us receive food and drinks before us.

Food was well cooked and nicely plated but super under seasoned Service was so-so; server forgot one of our drinks and served another the wrong thing. Booked a table for inside, we were asked at the door if we preferred inside or outside (we said inside) then maitre d sat us outside. We asked if there was space inside and he advised the tables inside were not yet open (it was 5:30 pm on a saturday) Spent $250 for a party of 4
