   I actually need help with the $20 deposit that I had to pay to secure my reservation via Open Table when I made the reservation on 4/4/25. I went well over the amount of $10 for each dinner for 2 people but the restaurant did not subtract the amount from my bill and will not answer emails to address this issue. I do not know how to go about getting the $$ subtracted from my bill. Please advise

   Our server was young and appeared pretty inexperienced. He wasn't rude - just not the best server. We got some drinks, which were just so-so. And the hummus plate, which was pretty good.

   For 1 the atmosphere is really nice and the presentation is good. This place would make a good amount of sales if they had wine unless I was never given a menu. Here are my issues: - for an evening only restaurant, they have a lunch menu which is really strange. It certainly needs an update to fit the environment and time setting. - SERVICE: im a server, and through my experience and from watching others, they seem to lack any proper training and serving etiquette. They're slouching as they take orders. They grab the menus before checking if we're ready to order and before we order. Our server took 30 mins total for a lemonade. He checks in our food 20 mins, without our lemondade. Then another 10 after we reminded him. When he asked us if we needed anything, after we were done, we said all set, and before we could also say to bring us a to-go box, he ran off. The service was genuinely so bad it deserved a 1-star, and I left 0 TIP. I work in the restaurant business so I support my servers. He doesn't deserve it. His name was Jacob -Drinks: Smoothies are super big portions and frozen, which isn't bad. The only thing is the size is an attempt to compensate for the lack of taste from the fruit. If im getting a fruit smoothie, I'd like to at least have a stronger taste of the fruit

   Worst service I’ve experienced in a restaurant made to cater to couples. We were waiting for an extra 45 minutes even though we had a ‘pre paid’ reservation. And after finally getting a table. The only thing we had in front of us for another 30 minutes was water before someone finally decided to take our order. Had everything packed and left. Food was subpar at best. No value for 200$
