Made a reservation for Easter a few days in advance. My friends from out of town and I had wanted to go. We showed up at our reservation time and the restaurant was closed. No one from the restaurant ever cancelled the reservation or reached out to tell us they would be closed. Open Table also didn’t let us know it wouldn’t be open.

It is apparently closed. Door was locked but a light was on inside. Two other parties with reservations also came to the door with us, all locked out. Please investigate and remove from your site.

Horrible service. Took 15 minutes before I was able to flag down a server. We ordered drinks an appetizer and main course. Appetizer and main course arrived together and then the drinks about 5 minutes later. Food was decent but the price of the Cocktails were ridiculous. $19 for an average espresso martini and $23 for an Old Fashion with Bulliet. I live in Las Vegas and those are worse than prices on the Strip. Food was average at best and the service is non-existant. Finally this place calls itself a "lounge" but it's closer to a dive bar.
