   My husband and I had dinner here and it was absolutely amazing. The Parker roll was delicious. My husband had the steak frites, and I had the Pappardelle which was seasoned to perfection. We will be back with friends next time!

   This was the worst dining experience of my life. There were no servers. The hostess forgot we were there. We were seated 40 minutes after our reservation. No one came to get our drink order. The food never came. Everyone was getting up and leaving. We asked for a manager and none ever came. We left after the first appetizer was brought. This place was an utter disaster

   We enjoyed our food and atmosphere. Jennifer helped us make our Valentines feel special. The food was full of unique flavors. We recommend you to check them out.

   Me and my gf ate here for Valentines day, and we both pretty disappointed. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait 20 minutes to be seated and all of our food was served cold despite taking 15 minutes to be served. All of the food was admittedly good, but I'm sure it would have been absolutely delicious if it was hot.

   My date and I were not given any service. We were not the only people that didn't receive service. Valentine's Day service was horrible enough, that we left after 30 minutes of no service to our table. This was after our reservation wasn't ready until 30 minutes after we arrived.

   The service was the worst that we have experienced. Along with another couple we ended up not staying and walking out. We sat at the table waiting for 30mins and we only got water and bread the waitress did not come to the table. I even told the gentlemen that brought the water and even then she didn’t bother coming over.

   Severely understaffed for a valentines day meal. We waited 2 hours for our appetizer. We watched other tables wait an hour or more just to get their checks. They kindly comped our meal due to the wait time, but the fact that they were so severely understaffed and continued to seat people after there were groups there for 3+ hours, gives pause for concern on dining there.

    My wife and I booked a reservation here for Valentine’s Day as we were staying at the hotel. When we booked, there was no mention of a smaller, limited menu for Valentine’s Day. The whole dining experience took almost 3 hours (6-9pm), with very slow service. The main courses were really good but the appetizers and deserts were underwhelming. That coupled with the extremely slow service made a $300 dinner bill seem totally not worth it in our opinion.
