    Everything was amazing aside from the check-in process. I will say it could have been because of Mother’s Day. Otherwise, everything else was exceptional.

    Here for dinner on Mother's Day. Despite a reservation not seated until 40 minutes after. Got worse from there. Server, clearly overwhelmed, like everyone else working there, did not take our orders (even for drinks) for almost 20 minutes, then our appetizers didn't come out until 90 minutes from seating, and entrees another 30 minutes. Food quality was excellent though appetizers portion for calamari was really stingy for the price. If food wasn't decent would have given 2 stars due to the poor management and pacing of meal. Will not be going back again.

    Reservation at 5:15 seated a little after 6, how your not prepared for a rush on Mother’s Day. Good was horrible. That was a first for me. Good usually is great. My opinion

    I always keep it real. Made it a reservation for Mother’s Day for 4:30pm we didn’t get a seat until 5:40pm hr n 10 minutes after. Keep in mind I had a 11yrs and a 3months old girls. Unacceptable. The food was very good. Big Shoutout to the hosts n servers. They were very friendly n respectful. Since yesterday was Mother’s Day I believe that the management team set the other crews members for failure. 800 plus reservations. Management teams should have prepared better than that. But other than that we were fine food was on point. Seafood ain’t cheap. I want to gave them another chance.

    food was excellent, but it seemed that they over booked the restaurant for mother’s day. i had a 4:15 reservation and we didn’t get sat until 5:10. the service was also so slow (which i assume is because it was really busy) but we didn’t get our drinks until after the appetizers came out. for a more upscale place, i am for sure a little disappointed. when you spend a lot of money, you expect the service to be above par, but yesterday it was sub par.

    I do not think the restaurant was equipped to deal with the sheer amount of people who came. I’m not sure if they were understaffed or just overwhelmed but the entire experience felt rushed which was not ideal for celebrating Mother’s Day or having a first impression. I’d still return but just at a later date and not anywhere near any holidays

    It was Mother's Day, and they were running a little late. They did everything possible to make us comfortable and we were. When seated, we enjoyed every moment. The food was delicious!

    We had a 1:30 reservation we were seated at 1:45 our waitress took 15 mins to come to the table. After taking our order she informed us they we behind with orders. I figured this much by the number of ppl in and outside the restaurant. The food was good once it got to the table our server was not very skilled at serving a busy restaurant. There were many times we had to ask for basic things like a plates and napkins. I understand it was a busy day but that’s when you have to be able to get it done. I will return to see if service is better on a quiet week day maybe bc the food was very good.
