    The food was good overall put service was poor and lacking what is the norm for fine dining. It started out ok but after placing order it was difficult getting our waiter’s attention. We had cocktails with appetizers and noticed she had removed wine list. We requested wine menu which we received but she never returned to take order even after entrees were delivered. We got wine and after long wait unattended dessert menus were brought to us. We were celebrating birthday and they brought out dessert and sang. No one bothered to take dessert order or after dinner drink order for the rest of the table. We mentioned this to person refilling waters and finally waiter came. We ordered desserts and after dinner drinks. Desserts arrived quickly but 20 minutes went by and no drinks. Many at table were ready to leave so we flagged someone asked for check and said to skip drinks. Our waiter brought drinks and said they were free and defensively said she didn’t realize we were under time constraint. We were seated at 6 and it was 8:30. I don’t mind a leisurely meal but felt service was not smooth.

    I booked our reservation several weeks in advance to celebrate our anniversary. Upon arrival, we were seated in the bar area. The noise level was so loud that my husband and I could barely hear each other. So it was not the romantic night we had planned. The service was only fair. The server was not great with offering recommendations and even her knowledge of the menu. Our food was very good however.

    We had reservations 2 month ahead and they seat us where waiter/ staff come together and there was not enough of space to pass between tables which caused for me to sit at edge of my seat so staff does not hit or spill something on me. Very frustrating! Atmosphere in restaurant was very loud, dark and not enough space. Bathroom was smelling like someone just smoked joint. Very disappointing! Food: appetizers delicious, chopped salat not good, stake fillet are okay. Salmon and see bass where good, chicken plate was good too. Waiter seems new so nothing really to say except he was expectedly slow and drinks took a while, bottle of vine. So experience not so great, definitely expected better. Hope this helps. Thank you.

    For the prices that are being charged service should match. Our server, while nice, wasn't attentive. We sat with empty dishes on our table for an extended period of time. I started with cocktail and switched to wine. The finished cocktail glass sat on the table through us getting up after paying. The restaurant was 1/2 full when we sat down and when left. I can honestly check this one off the list, but there's far better Italian in the city that's less expensive and better service.

    We noted that we were fans of Chef Soo from Top Chef at the start of our meal…and he came out to meet us! He even comped us a couple of items and was genuinely so thankful to have us come to his restaurant. The service was absolutely top notch and the food delicious!
