We had a reservation at 7:45. The host said our table was being cleaned off so we went to the bar for a drink. After two drinks we left at 8:15 because the host never came to tell us our table was ready…..

Ate dinner at this restaurant for Valentine’s Day and was very disappointed. They had a special menu for Valentine’s Day, but did not describe any of the dishes at all or tell you what they were or what was in them. All of their wines were by the glass or by the bottle, but they did not provide us any Information on the wines. We asked for a sample of one particular wine because the waiter did not know if it was oaked or unoaked. My food was not even edible and I got the chicken fettuccine. The fettuccine sauce was basically water and the noodles did not soak up any of the fettuccine sauce. Let’s just say we will not be back. Many of the other couples that sat around us had the same issues and we were very unpleased. The couple that sat next to us wanted to pay in cash, but the waiter said that they cannot accept the cash because they didn’t have any change to give them so they were forced to pay on their credit card.

Excellent experience from start to finish! Service was exceptional and attentive throughout. Each course was delicious with the sea bass being one of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!

Seated at 6:20, got bill @9:15. Waited 20 minutes for wine. 6 tables flipped while we waited to finish. Understaffed for sure. Steak sauce was absorbed by potatoes so it turned to mushy potatoes. Waited 25 minutes for dessert drinks.
