    Food was amazing, service was terrible. First time this has happened, I really hope it’s an isolated incident.

    Great personnel and food and environment. However it took a very long time to get our food. Although the waitress did apologize it did take a while to get our food . But everything else was great

    Don’t go here for Valentine’s Day .. we made reservations at 8:00 & didn’t get seated until an hour later, 9:00 .. then our food, witch was only one plate because we split it, took almost another hour. By the time it came we filled up on bread and where ready to just leave. Terrible... I looked like an idiot to my wife! Never going again..

    I booked a reservation through Open Table at 745 and did not get seated until.830pm. I understand it was Valentine's Day so I am willing to forgive them for that. What was the most disappointing was that we had to wait for over 90 minutes for our food. This is not the first time this has happened at this location. The service and food is good but the kitchen is horrible. They seem very disorganized and dont care about the wait time. I really want to be a continued customer but I have complained three times and nothing has changed. I would love to come back but after this experience unfortunately I will not be back.

    Went on Valentine’s Day. Got a quick reservation on this website. A couple red flags... 1) when I checked in they told me they overbooked reservations. 2) they said the food was taking longer than usual. I was seated at 7:30pm on time for my reservation but didn’t not receive my food until 9:30pm. Do not attend for special holidays! They can’t handle the crowd even when they advertise that they can.

    Made reservations. Didnt get seated until 20 minutes after our reservation. Sat there for another hour and a half after ordering without food. Paid for our wine and left after we were told it would be another 30 minutes. Our waiter was extremely helpful and kind. The management needs to get their kitchen together.
