Resveration system is a bit confusing, I was in spot 10 with tables of 7, 8 and 5 in front of me so I asumed a long wait ahead of me but they said my table was ready. I tried calling to let them know that they can put someone ahead of me or if they could wait but no answer. Great service and food! No complaints on that.
