    Some in our party felt the food was excellent, others just very good. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, and they let us sit for a bit after we were done eating. A little on the expensive side, but not too bad.

    We had the guac and deviled eggs to start both very good. Cocktails were nice also. Food came out for only 4 of us one order was late and one seemed to be forgotten. The kitchen seemed very busy but this is always an uncomfortable time as the ones who get their dinner have to decide whether to eat or have the food get cold. Once everyone had their food it was enjoyable.

    I thought the service was good and our server was attentive, however I found it weird that while we were still dining another server took our table lamp away but no one around us, a very minor thing but weird. I ordered the spicy sulami pizza which was definitely not spicy ,over powered by tomato sauce and there was no real flavor beside the whole cloves of garlic on the odd slice which was over powering. My girlfriend ordered the wagyu which was poor and disappointing. Ordered medium rare but it was probably done rare. The wagyu was also a very cheap cut of wagyu, not tender and not tasty, very bland, even though it’s expensive on the menu, (expensive considering the quality of the steak). The room was extremely cold and lots of people were wearing jackets during the night.
