    Party of 9 work colleagues, tried various appetizers, cocktails, and meals and everyone was super happy with their selections. Our server was one of the best we’ve encountered in a long time!

    Horrible experience for Father’s Day. Waited 40 minutes for a drink, and never received the bread we were to expect. Informed the manager, which did not help the situation. 2 of the 4 meals were incorrect. Will never be back.

    We were immediately sat at 6:00 PM upon arrival. Waiter stopped by shortly after for a drink order. Drinks arrived to the table at 6:35. Waiter stated he would return to take our meal order and he did not return. Restaurant was not busy, the table behind us and in front of us both had to send plates back to the kitchen. At 6:45 we finally decided to leave.

    While the hostess and our server/the bartender Desire were so nice, it's always baffling to me when someone doesn't know what rotating tap they have where they work. Burrata flatbread had zero burrata on it but was good. Definitely different since I have been last time I had been. Came b/c I had a gift card and most likely won't be back unfortunately.
