    Really fun experience that made celebrating my birthday just a little extra special. The ambience and decor are definitely top notch. From the high end wall paper, to the lights/cherry blossom tree and plant green wall! I thought the food was a little more on the expensive side especially considering the portion size. I highly recommend ordering food in a multiple course style. That being said, I am still happy paying those prices for the exceptional service from Bailey, the live piano music, and the experience as a whole!

    The service was great! The food and drinks need serious improvement. The pasta noodles on all of our dishes were overcooked and mushy. The sauce tasted decent. The garlic bread was meh. We did NOT enjoy the drinks. The lemon raspberry dessert was extremely dry and dense. My assumption would be that their food is not made fresh daily. The atmosphere is really cool and all staff members are very friendly. If the food and drinks were waaaayyyyy better this could be a very nice place to eat.

    Heard that it was amazing but the food was so sub par for the cost. Super super overpriced. Our waitress seemed in a hurry to get our order when we told her we weren’t in a rush, she seemed annoyed. Drinks were Utah horrible with no alcohol. Wouldn’t recommend at all. So overrated and overpriced.

    Horrible food, we gave it a try after the change name/managment but it was as bad as the latest days of the graffiti management. Pasta was overcooked, focaccia is just a texas bread that n the oven. Too much money for the food

    My forth time there. The food quality decrease at each visit to the point that in this last visit we decided that we probably would not come back. Other options with better food. The appetizer were nice but did not have salt (and we all are used to low salt). The main course, my parpadelle was good, the carbonara did not taste like one. The desert were okay.

    Overall the experience was so-so. We waited forever to get seated, even after making reservations. There was nut shell pieces in our salad, and the desert was kind of dry but alright. To be fair, the wait staff was pleasant and the entries were good. The atmosphere was great but the experience missed the mark.

    Nice ambiance and good location. The service was excellent and prices not bad for an upscale restaurant. The appetizers and 3 of 4 mains were excellent. The Lasagna did leave a bit to be desired, it felt like a pile instead of a layered dish. Overall it was very good and I plan to return.

    Beautiful atmosphere. We ended up in a seat where my partner had a view of the restaurant and I was looking at the corner where servers had some workstation. The food was incredibly average for the price. The gnocchi was doughy, the mushroom appetizer turned out to be like a cheap, fried, hush puppy, with rice inside. The steak was cooked well but the sides were overcooked carrots and the mash potatoes with the steak were gooey. Very disappointing and I would definitly not go back. The moment we sat down in the terrible seat I wanted to get up and leave. Did not order drinks or desert because the experience was so poor I wanted to go right away. As I said, beautiful environment, but the place is classless otherwise. Sorry for the strong negative opinion, it was just very disappointing.
