    Very nice experience. Just don’t like we were sat by the door in January. It was cold and we didn’t really get a chance to view the ambiance of the building. But the Rasta pasta was 10/10 very very good.

    This is an amazing restaurant! The prices are definitely up since the last time I was there but the food quality and overall service is still outstanding.

    Brunch was cold and over cooked. Beautiful restaurant. French toast was hard and cold. Cappuccino was cold. I’d like to try dinner. Definitely not returning for brunch.

    Omg! Don’t even waste your time or money. The soup was sour tasting, all the food was salty AF. The waitress was rude. The calamari had a fishy smell. When you tell the waitress the food is not edible from how salty it was and chicken being chewy her reply was sorry nothing I can do about it. That is not customer service. We will never be back!!

    The food was wonderful, our server was delightful and responsive, music with the live saxophone player was fantastic. They should tell guests ahead of time that they are adding 20% gratuity to the bill automatically, even when there are just three people at the table. We almost tipped nearly 50% because we were adding gratuity on top of the mandatory 20%.

    Our party of four was seated in the small room that already had a table of seven occupied. It was so loud we couldn’t hear anything anyone in our group said. We inquired about moving to a quieter area (none of the restaurant is very quiet) and we were promptly moved to a table away from the large party. Our server Carlos was friendly without being obtrusive and the food was excellent as usual (love the lasagna). We miss the table side Caesar salad.

    We were placed near the door and we asked to move away from the door due to the draft. The host moved us but we still felt the draft. The table next to us was loud. The bread was not warm. We ordered the Cajun pasta platter and Cajun shrimp pasta. The flavors were good but again the food was not hot. They charged gratuity upfront for a group of four, something I was not aware of, but was not an issue. The dessert was good.
