Food order took more than 30 minutes to arrive despite very few early dinner patrons in the restaurant. Beet salad had very few beets, just a lot of lettuce.

After we were seated, nobody cane to our table for over 25 minutes. We had no waters or anything at the table. Once we had a waitress, we ordered drinks apps and our main meals. Our drinks came 20 minutes later, our apps came an HOUR later and our meals came TWO hours later! Our dishes and dinks piled up on our table as nobody would clear the table. I asked our waitress if she didn’t mind taking the 6 (yes 6) empty cups/glasses off our table…she looked confused so I had to ask again. The food was good, but the service killed it.

We like the ambiance here which is primary why we return. Some of the dishes are good but in general the food is not great. Does seem like its getting worse. The booths are also not great for larger people. We made it work but didnt seem like they had many table options.
