    Arrived when happy hour menu was available ( did not know this before).. was told that you could have a bottomless pour of wine for $12 a glass .it was 630 and happy hour was 4-7.. the. Waiter came back and said there would.not be time before happy hour ended to have a second glass.. felt b/c we started during happy they should have honored .. asked waiter to talk to manager who would not honor… gave me a negative feeling about the restaurant..food was fair so don’t think we would go back..

    Courses were not paced well (appetizer took 20+ min, entree and appetizer arrived at same time, oysters arrived after entree and only after I asked). Baked Brie was greasy and the plate was extremely hot, suggesting the dish had been sitting in the pick up window for a while. Server was charming and host was very gracious when I requested a different table because — Beware the banquette!! The bench seats drop down several inches when you sit and are horribly uncomfortable. We watched several other guests request cushions to sit on… their chests were at table height! Time to invest in some new banquettes.
