Too expensive for our daily or weekly dates, but my wife’s birthday is well worth it! (So is mine, but let’s not complicate the situation!) The only thing we didn’t like were the flies, and we need to come after dark to get the full ambiance of the patio.

We sat with empty wine glasses until we finished our dinner, then the waitress ask if we wanted another glass of wine> Too Late!

Our table was close to the musician and a speaker was above us. The music was way too loud even though we asked to have it adjusted. Mind you, I love loud music, but not when you are with friends getting to know each other and trying to understand what they’re saying. Impossible to have a decent conversation. Secondly, our waiter George, was way too busy and we were ignored for the most part. We had to ask other people to have him come and we had to wait for everything way too long. I even joked about it saying that I’ll need to get the tip instead of him. He laughed. I had to play a waiter for the most part. Thirdly, the food was not good at all. We all had different dishes and no one was bragging about the food. . It was very disappointing.

Dinner for 2 came to over $200, and we didn't even order a bottle of wine. Save this place for a very special occasion.

The restaurant, or our server, did nothing for our celebration. No free dessert or even so much as adding a candle to the butter cake we ordered. The overall service was not good. The waiter was either inexperienced or had too many tables. The servers are usually much more attentive and available.

We have always enjoyed our dining experience except for this time. We waited about thirty five minutes for our meals to be served. They were lukewarm. My rack of lamb was tough. I had it rare. Our guests pork shops were dry and sinewy. We brought a bottle of wine and our server filled our glasses but didn’t refill them when they were empty. There were many flies and gnats out that evening and we had to be careful while eating. The flies couldn’t be helped even though we had a fan on our table. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the service and the food and won’t be recommending it any time soon.

They have some fans for the tables but not every table has a fan - if you don’t - you are just swatting flies from your food all night. The food was also pretty average. Once it is dark the ambiance is lovely but it’s not worth the flies and mediocre food.

Went on to explain why he needed us to leave more money since he had to pay from his own pocket for the hostess and food runners, we had to asks him to leave, I was Very disappointed as I had been there a few times before with a different experience, I will not be going back to this place and will not recommend it again!!

I ordered the only vegan option on the menu which was a rice pasta dish which was awful! I was surprised that there are no plant based options or vegan dishes at this very pricey restaurant!
