Loved the ambience, food fantastic. Service could be a little better. Staff is not friendly. Your paying a lot of money it would be nice to have exceptional service. It wasn't horrible just not friendly or personable.

This place was a great experience. I booked reservations the day of my visit and had trouble finding parking so we called and they pushed our reservation back a little bit. The food came out fast and it was delicious. The service was outstanding and the environment was gorgeous! I would definitely recommend to come here!

The experience can be fun with decor and the vibe. The food was hit and miss. Lacking in flavor on a lot of items we had. Braised short ribs was the best thing we ate. Also super salad. Drinks were fun and tasty. Service had a lot to be desired. Went on a Saturday night. Was busy but not overly crowded. Very pricey for food quality and service was not worth the extra service fee they add I assume to pay higher wages, Or health care 4.5%. Is a lot so I hope some goes to the server, but who knows it’s not explained. Lack of service. Entitlement to a tip it seems.
