The cocktails were very good and the lively atmosphere was fun. I went for drinks with some girl friends. Unfortunately our server made us feel extremely rushed the entire evening. She tried multiple times to take away our appetizers before we finished and we told her twice that we plan to finish the food. She also tried to take away my drink before I was finished. She asked if we wanted the bill so we said yes because I understand that sometimes servers need to finish their shift. We wanted to order more drinks so we had to flag her down. I understand that the restaurant needs to remove tables and chairs by a certain time which is perfectly fine but I would prefer that is clearly communicated at the beginning or end of our reservation (for example, we can be informed by the host or server that our table is needed by x time). Instead, it seems like the tactic is to rush out your table as soon as possible.

The restaurant was not busy when we arrived for our 6:00 reservation however it was 15 minutes before our waiter came to take our drink order after we waved down the host that seated us. We were not asked if we wanted a starter as we ordered our entrees.My pasta was good but arrived Luke warm with goat cheese on top that was cold coming directly to from a fridge which made the pasta even colder. When we finished our dinners no dessert or coffee were offered just the bill. They need to get their service up to par as there are many terrific restaurants that offer great service. The staff were friendly but their timing was completely OFF.

This place was amazing! The atmosphere was gorgeous and not too loud. My friend and I went here for the first time for Sunday brunch and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. The brunch was great, the bottomless mimosas were amazing and the dessert was to die for. The waitresses are all so nice and attentive and I loved my experience here. I will definitely go back again.

Food wasn’t prepared well, service was mediocre and not attentive. Ambiance is great, so it was sad that the service and menu didn’t match the environment.
