First visit and overall impression was positive. Service was excellent. When our server was over loaded serving several tables the manager stepped in to help. Food although not great was good and served timely. Wine selection was excellent and appropriately priced. Menu is somewhat limited but adequate. Overall the restaurant received a 4 star rating and will definitely return.

Unfortunately, we want to love this place. The ambience and atmosphere are incredible. The location is perfect for us. However, it just falls short. The food was good, but the service was deplorable. The restaurant was empty and yet it took us one hour to get our cocktails. The food came out pretty quickly but all in all it was a disaster. We really want to love this place but it just fall short
