    The hosts and bartender were very friendly and engaging. The store employee was absent for several minutes and then not particularly helpful. I was also disappointed by the quality/poor nutrition of the food--particularly given the high price. My waitress came to my table far too many times and was too pushy for me to order various items—I found her behavior intrusive.

    Great service, management was working hard alongside the servers. It was typical tourist restaurant, expensive food that would be 25% less in an average town. No complaints. Service was super friendly.

    Waiters were kind but the food took a while. The steak I understood but the mash potatoes came out last. It was a cool vibe but not the most lovely dovey for Valentines Day. Would go again but just for fun. Food a little to pricey for the taste quality. Bathroom was nice but the floor cleanliness could have been better.

    Waiter was very pleasant. Hod to move us to handle a big crowd coming in, but still got to keep our original waiter and met a really nice couple.
