    I made a reservation and we were seated right away. Overall the food and drinks were good. The service was okay. Having to ask for refills and not seeing the waitress for a while with empty glasses was not my favorite.

    We couldn't wait to visit this restaurant.. When we arrived we were less than impressed. The staff was great and the decor was great. We were not impressed with the food. We left and ate somewhere else.

    Very cool atmosphere, Food was above average, Staff was very poor. Our reservation notes were not addressed nor accommodated. Host clearly acted as if she was doing us a favor by seating us when we asked to wait for the other party joining us in the lobby, then 4 minutes later called our name again like we hadn't checked in yet... Servers? HA 9 minutes until anyone showed up even to welcome us and bring water. We immediately felt like we needed to order an appetizer so we could get it upon her return. The rest of the service was the same, she lingered around each table for 5 minutes each talking instead of paying attention to our empty glasses or overcooked salmon which I certainly was not going to wait until 10pm to get a replacement dish. Overall the apps and food were well prepared minuses the overcooking. The atmosphere was very cool, but the staff made the experience something we would not want to do again, and for $250 for a party of 4, service does not come close to matching the price. Too bad.
