    Went on Valentine's day so they were behind even if you made a reservation. We waited about 40 mins because the people checking us in at the front neglected to put our names down. We wouldn't have made it in if we didn't ask what our place in line was. We were immediately shoved to a corner in the back of the restaurant upon asking our place in line therefore we didn't get much of the ambience that I was hoping for. Overall the food was amazing and the staff did the best that they could especially on a really busy night so I won't hold any judgement on service based on that night alone. I would come back for the food and hope for a better experience!
