   Christmas evening…overcrowded and understaffed. Waited90 minutes for our food to arrive after order was taken. When it finally arrived, it was cold. Probably just sat in the kitchen waiting for someone to take it to the table.

   Christmas Eve dinner Reservation for 6:30pm and didn’t get seated until 7:45pm. This is not a hard problem to solve for knowing this is going to happen on Christmas Eve…. There were 50+ people waiting to be seated all with Reservations. Once seated it was all good but I will have to game the system if I come again because of the ability to “take” the reservation but the inability to “hold” the reservation.

   We went for Christmas Eve and overall had a very good time. We had a reservation for 6:30, arrived at 6:05 and were told the wait was an hour. We waited a bit and then opted to grab a regular table vs the hibachi seating. The server was very good, she apologized several times for the delays for drinks and food because they were so busy and was very friendly. The food was good, we were all pleased with our meal choices.

    We made a reservation for 8 PM for three people, when we arrived at the restaurant they told us that it would be a 30 minute wait, but there was no one else waiting. We asked them why it would be an additional 30 minutes when our reservation is for 8 o’clock and they stated that a reservation just gives you priority over a walk-in not that you would sit down to a table . If that is the case that needs to be stated somewhere when booking or at the restaurant. Once we got to our table, it was another 30 minutes for a server another 20 for drinks. There was no salad, the waitress had to go back to the back and make salads. However, when the chef came to make the food, the food was excellent, shout out to chef Ash And waitress D.
