    I made reservations and was seated immediately. We sat for 20 minutes and watched the tables around us receive service. No water or server ever showed up to our table. We left. I’m not sure why this happens here where customers are singled out. I guess we’ll never know Selvin…

    The food was really good, it our service wasn’t all that great. We had very slow service, inconsistent service. We had 7 in our party. Four had their plates and utensils cleared before dinner, whereas three did not. Our food came out and half of us were cramped with our appetizer plates still in front of us while the other half had no utensils. Our server didn’t come around for more than 15 minutes into dinner to get folks utensils and clear plates. Drinks were also done, and she bolted before she asked if people wanted another round. We finally found her at the end of dinner. Half of the crew ordered another drink while the rest figured it was too late. The check sat for 10-15 minutes before she came by to pick it up and run the card.

    Good food but not the vibe they promote. I'm not sure they read the comments or requests in the Open Table reservation because we told them we were celebrating and wanted a view of the TV, and we got seated right by the bathroom and far away from the TV. So you may want to call. Not gonna be going out of my way to return.

    Excellent food & service! Try the homemade bread offered for breakfast which is delicious croissants &  pastry type bread with home made  jellies! Everything here is  delicious! Servers  are very knowledgeable on ingredients and things with nuts and gluten free items. The Bartender made a special gluten free beverage for one of us that was very labor intensive. They all go the extra mile here to make your experience a 10 out of 10.

    Loved the ambiance and our server Mason was exceptional. The drinks were super yummy and we were told about the secret menu. The food was just ok. We ordered the 1/2 Caesar salad, steak, shrimp pizza and Hamachi. Besides the shrimp pizza and Caesar salad, the other two were lacking flavor. I wanted to love this restaurant, but the food was a bit less then expected. We did say we would go one more time and the other items as we enjoyed the rest of it.

    The ambience was really pleasant, and the server was very friendly and remembered the birthday girl’s name, but there were a couple of occasions where we could’ve had the server there to bring water or take our order. I understand the table was needing to be cleaned for the next party, but we didn’t have quick service to be able to settle up and leave the table.

    Went there for dinner the other night, first time visiting this place. Loved the vibe, beautiful decor. They have both inside and outdoor covered patio. Hunter, our server, was awesome. The drinks were tasty. The food was delicious. Will most definitely be back.

    I wanted to love the food.. our server was just fine but the restaurant suddenly seemed understaffed for a Sunday. Took 15 minutes to get drinks that they didn’t have one of the ingredients for.. then had to come over and offer something else.. then ordered a coke and a soda water.. also took over 10 minutes to get.. we ordered the specials.. they were okay… Will try this restaurant again.. I loved the vibe and hope it was just an off night…

    It was our first time here. We had reservations for 2 at 8:15pm., later than usual for us. We were seated next to a table of 8 and a table of 6 behind us. Really loud, music was loud, and food was so, so, for the price, Brick Chicken and Sea Bass. Only highlight was a lovely party of two on the other side of us that were there for the first time as well. We struck up a nice conversation. His Fjsh & Chips were still frozen and sent back. We’ll give the restaurant another try, but perhaps earlier in the evening. The decor looked beautiful.
