We we’re so excited to try this place. From the get-go it was a weird experience. The waitress barely paid any attention to us. The drinks alone took 30 minutes after ordering and we never even got our food after an hour and 15 minutes of waiting we were there for brunch and not too many people there we ended up having to leave hungry and have eaten nothing. It was truly a bizarre experience. I feel like the waitress might have been on drugs or something. We love the chef’s restaurant in OC but this place was an absolute disaster. Do not recommend.

The food was delicious! And though the servers were nice, we would go 20 minutes without seeing someone. Once they get the service worked out, this becomes a must recommend restaurant.

Purchased the New Year’s package. We enjoyed our evening. Great venue, unique cuisine, no complaints. We liked the complimentary blanket for patio dining so much that we purchased one
