                                                    There's so much to like about this restaurant - ambience, friendly service, good crowd and solid menu. However they have too many incidences when the basics are not done right. I had not been for a while since my last visit when it took them 3 attempts to cook my lamb chops to order. On this visit our daughter's steak ordered medium rare came out medium well to well, 2-3 levels overcooked. She was initially reluctant to send it back but we convinced her. We were told it would be replaced in 8 minutes but it actually took 15-20 by which time of course we had long finished our entrees. The replaced steak was cooked correctly and in fairness the restaurant comped dessert but I would much rather just have the food executed properly first time around. The menu is not overly long so it's a mystery how a routine item like cooking a beef tenderloin or lamb chop can get so badly messed up. A shame because otherwise this place is delightful...

                                                    Everything about our entire dining experience last weekend was perfect. The ambience was wonderful. Our server was great. My meal came out slightly overcooked and was immediately taken back and replaced with another that was outstanding. The wine Somalia directed us toward exactly what we were interested in for our preferences in style and varietal. We found an incredible bottle of wine at a very, very reasonable price. Overall, two 👍 up for sure.

                                                    Way too pricy for the quality of the meal. Beef tips were overcooked and the scallops were average. Too many staff members for a small space. Lots of movement and hovering amongst bussers.
