It was just ok. When we were seated the first thing the host said was we will get crowed so please keep it simple and short. We sat for an hour and 40 minutes and I have to say the place was far from crowded. I have never sat in a restaurant and told by a the hostess to keep it simple and short because they were expected to get crowded. I will say we won’t be going back. It’s a great way to not have customers going back. This place is not worth it.

The food and service were great! During a very busy Saturday night with reservation, we had to wait 10 minutes for our table. It was noisy due to a large party. Food was great! The maître d was very pleasant, apologized and gave us a complementary appetizer. She has great business skills. Will definitely recommend this place.
