    The food was prepared well, but took much longer than expected. The service was also sub par. The restaurant was not very crowded, so I would have expected a more conscientious server.

    Terrible service. Restaurant table had chips on finish —plastic place mats torn. Sat for a very very long time before even getting drinks. Kitchen slow. Terrible experience. Sad to see this restaurant fall so low

    The food was okay, but the cocktails were great. A mouse did run across the restaurant a few times prompting multiple groups including mine to leave, and management didn’t offer anything for the inconvenience besides a sorry. Will not be coming back. Great atmosphere though!

    Service was worse than awful. Out of several menu items. Food arrived cold. Sat upstairs- quite noisy compared to downstairs. A truly unpleasant dining experience.

    Honestly it has deteriorated so much in this last year. The service was unacceptably horrible. Our server was Rude and couldn’t care about our table. We had three birthdays and she would not acknowledge. I’m sad because I have loved entertaining at this one and the one in NY. What a horrible experience. Choose another restaurant.

    We had an excellent dining experience. I would note that the text that I received to confirm our reservation was rather Tersely worded. You might want to revisit that for the future.

    Seated at a front table with an L shaped bench that was surprisingly comfortable and 2 padded arm chairs. Noise level was perfect for a business dinner. Service was excellent. And the food…. Espresso martinis were great just expensive. Bruschetta was an outstanding appetizer but very small portions and not easily shareable if you want to try different options (6 to choose from). Grilled octopus was an excellent small meal sized appetizer served with potatoes. Pasta all house made and delicious. This is my go-to dinner spot for trade shows at the convention center.
