    Good food, wonderful server. Loved the ambience and the fact that a man dressed in an ape costume greeted us! Too funny

    Each time we come here we try something new and it’s always delicious! The wine selection is wonderful. The prices are very good. The ambience caters to groups or couples. We will definitely be coming back to dine.

    We ordered a bottle of wine, 3 apps (croquetas/burrata/gyoza) 4 entrees (steak/grilled cheese/lamb chops). The food was all delicious but unfortunately the service was so bad it ruined the meal. We got there at 4pm on Sunday. There was 1 person and 4 of us. The entire restaurant was open and they sat us on a table that SHOULD NOT be a 4 top. By the time they brought us our waters and the bottle of wine, there was no room on the table for anything else. We had to put our appetizers on the corners of the table and put ļæ¼the wine bucket on the floor. My daughter ordered the grilled cheese as an entree with a side of fries. She specifically told the waitress to bring it out with the rest of the food. A few minutes later, guess what arrived. About seven minutes later my husbandā€˜s pork chops arrived. And thirteen minutes later, after flagging down a waiter, our steaks arrived COLD and my daughter’s side of fries. At this point there were 12 people in the restaurant, including us. I continued to make eye contact with what I think was the manager. The waiter that had to tell them we were still missing food physically went up to him and spoke to him about it. Not once did he come to our table to check in on us or excuse the wait. Total was almost $300 with tip. I hope the service changes because like I said, the food was delicious, but I will not be back anytime soon.

    I like the place but they rush you. I hadn’t finished with my appetizer and they were coming to pick up my plate. This happened twice. I had to say hey I’m not finished. Also, corkage fee of $20 for a wine they sell you? Ridiculous. I could see it if it was a wine I brought myself so probably won’t go back.
