    Love that there was no rush to turn over the table, but there was a serious lack of servers. This meant that no one checked back to see if we needed anything (we would have liked more veggies) and we were done with each course for a long time before we got the next one. Our whole meal took over three hours.

    We apologize that you found us on an evening where their may have been a staffing issue. We owe you extra veggies for next time! Thank you for dining with us and taking the time to let us know how we can do better in the future.

    We stopped in for dessert. It was okay. Service was fair. I had to ask a couple times for more water. Our server wasn’t attentive.

    Let’s start with the positive. Fantastic service! Great food, at decent price. We had a good time. Enjoyed it. Will go back. Unfortunately, we were at the table seated next to the kitchen doors. I will hear corner in my sleep for at least a week. This is what they would yell every time they went in and out of the kitchen. It got to the point we just made a joke out of it, but I would always ask from now on to never sit by the kitchen.
