We had 5pm reservations for 2. Showed up at 4 so we could do a wine tasting. Destiny helped us - she was fantastic even though she was swamped! We checked in with the hostess right at 5pm and were seated promptly. Our server was very attentive and the food (Short Rib Risotto and the Leonard Burger) were amazing!

Wait staff def made me feel special, gave me a free dessert for my birthday and were very accommodating. Food is good but very rich and sauce intensive. Overall, great experience and I would go back (esp for the crème brûlée)
