    Hi Clancey, we're so sorry about the long wait! 45 minutes is absolutely not the experience we want anyone to have, and we're especially sorry that it wasn't handled with more care and communication. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We'll be addressing this with our team, and we hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with a much better experience!

    This is a lively and delicious experience! The food came out to fast — if they could slow down the coursing that would really elevate the service. Server Chris was great! Recommend 5/5!!!

    Thank you so much for the review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food and had a great experience with Chris. We really appreciate the feedback on the coursing as well, definitely something we’ll keep in mind. Hope to have you back again soon!

    A bit disappointing. I had heard so much about this restaurant. As it turns out the food was mediocre - oversalted and very heavy. The service was good but the seating was uncomfortable and the music was way to loud to conduct a conversation.

    It’s not a place to dine, just to go get a bite to eat. The food is delicious but our whole dinner was over in 45 minutes.
