    Excellent food but service was on the slower end, likely due to understaffing.

    We will not visit this restaurant again. It would be fine to sit outside and have a drink, but not dinner.

    This was one of the worst service experiences I have ever had. The waitress did not follow up with our table after we had questions on the menu. It took 30 minutes before the waitress came back to take our order. The waitress never checked on us! She walked by too many times to count and never looked at our table. Another waitress ended up stopping by a few times because it was clear we were sealing assistance. Asked to speak to a manager at the end of our meal, who came to the table and proceeded to stair us in our faces and not say a word. I had to prompt him and ask if he would like to know why we wanted to speak to him. The experience with the manager was worse than the server.

    Service was extremely slow and they were not busy. We had to flag our waitress down several times: to order, to ask for more water, to ask for check. Food was average at best. Was hoping for better based upon the reviews.

    This is not a fair review because we ended up leaving without eating because they were only offering the “ brunch” menu and not the standard menu. The server said they only serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday from open until around 3:00pm. The website did not say that when I booked the reservation. The reservation actually gave you the option to select the brunch or the standard menu… which I selected. I hope to return when they’re serving the standard menu. The food really looked great.
