The food is great and server attentive however we continue to be pushed through our visits (this has happened in the past as well). Rushed to order, rushed to clear & rushed through dessert. And asked to move to the bar if we were “finished” due to next seating. This is a turn off!

We have addressed these concerns with our team, and we’re always excited for the opportunity provide amazing experiences to our customers.

Beautiful restaurant. Waiter forgot to take my order but service was otherwise excellent. Pizzas were good. Smoked appetizer platter was good. My cubano sandwich had hardly any meat on it at all, super thin, was on a very basic white bread hoagie and the cheese wasn’t melted at all. Basically a toasted bun. They brought us a huge dessert platter no charge cause we had 2 birthdays and an anniversary in our party, which was very nice of them. Overall cool restaurant just disappointed in the sandwich.

Both steaks ordered were overcooked. One to the point of burnt on the outside beyond being edible. Mentioned it to the server but wasn't offered a new steak or discount. The drinks and sides were great but at over $40 a steak it should have been cooked to order.
