Everything was pretty great. Only thing for us is we needed an early dinner. So we made a reservation for 4p. First issue was we had planned for dinner. But at 4p, they were only offering lunch. So had to get alternatives from the menu we planned on days before. Second there must've been a shift change shortly after 4. We had a female waitress till 4:15. Then a gentleman. No big deal on the transition. But it's hard to rate them together. The first one was not great. I wanted a decaf coffee and she said there wasn't any made. No offer to make some. As soon as the second waiter introduced himself later and said he was taking over, I asked for a decaf coffee. He said no problem. And he came back fairly quickly with a great tasting cup of coffee. So the first server was a 2 star at best, not just for that issue. The second server was terrific. In fact we have a 50% tip in the end for our table. So all I can say is service is hit or miss there depending on who you get. Or maybe because she was ending her shift. That along with 4p still doing lunch, I'd definitely recommend not going there at 4! Otherwise food was terrific all around including dessert.

Our server was a really great guy, but food took a long time to come out. We were supposed to get bread at the beginning that never arrived. When the food came out it tasted really good but was a bit cold. As it was NYE I didn’t mind having a long drawn out dinner service (2.5 hours start to finish), but would have preferred the timing to be better. Restaurant decor needs an upgrade. Chairs were all worn down and ratty looking. Overall we still had a great time, but wanted it to be a little nicer for the price.
