Went for dinner to celebrate an engagement. Average food and quality. Nothing to write home about but a nice ambience. Waiter was fine but not outstanding. Very vanilla experience overall.

Waited 1/2 for our drink order. Waitress never cam back and asked for refills or checked on us. Waited an hour for 3 dinner salads and one came with no dressing. By the time we got the receptionist to find our waitress everyone was done with their meal, so I took my salad to go. All we got was a lot of ‘oh sorry’s’.

We had a great meal last night. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. the food was great. The ambiance is exactly how it is written. It is essentially a bar with tables on either side. A bit noisy, but that is part of the ambiance. I'd never been here before but really liked it.

Service started fine - then the waiter completely avoided us for about 45 minutes. There were plenty of staff and not many people in the restaurant. Witnessed most of the staff eating and chatting for 20 minutes at a time in the kitchen. Not impressed. Also, prices a little steep for the portions.

Overall not a great local. Wayland local way nicer. There was a smell coming from the bathroom of air fresher that we could smell at our table not exactly appetizing.

Very good food; great, attentive service. Lots of space between the tables. We were able to delay our reservation at the last minute when we were running late. My husband said the steak tips were the best he’s had at any restaurant in awhile. No complaints!! We will be back!!
