Made last minute reservations on the afternoon of Valentine's Day. The place of hopping with families, I was with my 3 granddaughters. We were seated right away. Our server was outstanding - checking in frequently when passing by to assist other patrons. The table runners were friendly and efficient. Food came out hot, especially appreciated that the soup was delivered hot as that has not been the case in other establishments. Food was prepared well and very good. Even though there were people waiting, I never felt rushed at all during the meal. Very pleased with the entire experience.

Got seated by the hostess right away, however 10-15 minutes had past before our server came to our table to take our order and that was only after asking the hostess where our server was. Overall, once our order was taken the food was great and came quickly. Would consider trying again.

Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.

All the food was mediocre. Not bad, but nothing special. Tip app was “fixed” to 20% inclusive of tax (or more!).
