    Awesome food, awesome service! Made a reservation a month in advance for 5:00, we were catching a show! Got there 45 minutes early, all empty tables. Hostess was extremely rude and shouldn't be working with the public. We asked to be seated earlier and she said we couldn't, she explained she was over booked. We sat at the bar and had some drinks. 5:00 came and went, she sat every table for 5:00 before us! Rude! Finally we spoke to another host who sat us right away, and he couldn't believe we weren't seated yet. Too many restaurants to choose from in AC to be treated like this!

    We have dinner here occasionally and enjoy the food and ambiance. I saw they were having a special Christmas Eve dinner of the Seven Fishes so we made a reservation. It did not disappoint. We had a 10 course meal for $100 per person. The chef, Nick, made seven amazing fishes which also included a salad, intermezzo and dessert. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food which was served. Such a wonderful night with awesome food and great staff.
