Food was good, unfortunately we did not feel like the service was equal to the food. For the amount of patrons in the restaurant at the time, our experience left us lacking. Would recommend for the food, but not the experience.

Had reservations for Saturday at 8:15pm. While on the way, received a phone call to confirm coming and to notify that some menu items were out. Ok, no problem. However once arrived and seated, attempted to order and pretty much nothing was available on the menu. The server proceeded to explain how it was due to a large party the day prior and they ran out of a lot of food. This was confusing because was there not a store available to restock seeing as though the restaurant doesn’t open until noon. The staff wasn’t very apologetic, just a lot of excuses. Overall, a waste of time and it was disappointing.
