    The single worst restaurant experience. A man claiming to be a manager started screaming and yelling at us. We were never seated our reservation was for 8:45 and at 9:40 we were still not seated. The staff was so unhappy this so called manager is an actual disgrace. If they are still open when you read this don’t go it’s a horrible place.

    It took over 45 minutes to get our cocktails. We only saw our server twice through the whole meal. If a restaurant is going to automatically add 20% for gratuity, the service should be at a high level. We got our check before we were offered a desert menu simply because the night was too long. Was my second time there. Unlikely I will go back.

    Our server and the food were both excellent. The reviews note how great the specialty cocktails are but the drinks mentioned on their Website were no longer being made and the ones they offered were limited and not very appealing. They also had just one bartender so the drinks were super slow. We were there to celebrate a birthday and we had eaten our entire meal before we received our second drink. I love patronizing my neighborhood spots but for the high price we paid, they really need to improve. I hope they do better.

    The drinks were fantastic and individual food dishes were good but the actual fusion dishes missed the mark. Our server seemed uncomfortable and wasn’t good at walking us through the experience. I would come back for the bartender and the cocktails though.

    Food was good but very expensive considering the portion size. Service was terrible. Multiple wrong and forgotten orders for both drinks and food.

    Really inventive food with an interesting cocktail menu. Service was attentive but not all the knowledgeable about the wine pairing. Would definitely recommend as the menu was courses out very well and most of the dishes were outstanding.
