Avoid! Worst dining experience of my life. Waited forever for basic communication, a hello, water, anything, for a crazy amount of time. They would apparently run out of the ingredients for a certain dish, not say a word, and lie to us that the food we ordered 'was coming'. Then 30-40 minutes later, they'd grab something cold and random from the kitchen without asking us if that's an okay substitution, and throw it down in front of us, before running away again.
All food (that we did get) was burnt and downright inedible. Cocktails were very bad, and they put a BIRD feather in my drink?!? We wasted 3.5 hours of life here, and got served two 'appetizers'.
End of the day, they tried to charge us for the food we never even received, threw on their own gratuity (which we were not informed of), and charged us full price on a super cheap bottle of wine that wasn't even on the menu. Clearly, staff walked down to the Chevron and grabbed a few Sutter Home dusty bottles there. Gave huge scam vibes.
All staff and managers need to learn how to have basic communication with your guests and each other. It was embarrassing to watch, and the night was ruined.
MistoraResponded on March 18, 2025We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had on Valentine’s Day. We completely understand your frustration and truly regret that the night did not meet expectations. Due to unexpected staff call-outs, we were severely short-handed, and unfortunately, this led to long wait times, poor communication, and an overall lack of coordination that is absolutely not the standard we aim for.
This event was meant to be a test run, but we recognize that we were not fully prepared for the volume of guests, and we take full responsibility for the shortcomings of the evening.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we are actively making improvements to ensure better staff training, clearer communication, and a more seamless dining experience moving forward.
