    Such a disappointment. The host was lovely but the rest of our experience was awful. The server was unprofessional and unconcerned and our entrees were completely inedible.

    The food was good. The appetizers were awesome but the main dish was over seasoned. Our server was inattentive and we ended up having to go to the bar to get water.

    Excellent food. A little too bright at night. Some mood lighting would put it over the top!
