   Wonderful dinner and experience overall. Our server was excellent and the food was perfect. The Feta app was so good and the Presa never fails to impress.

   Atmosphere is outstanding. Food was just OK not memorable at all. I would not order an entrée there. Pizza is probably good but we didn’t have that.

   Very sorry to hear that you were not totally satisfied with your meal. Could you please elaborate on why you would not order an entrée? The three other guests that you dined with had entrees and the server indicated that they were happy with everything. And yes, our pizzas are excellent! Maybe that would be a good choice for your entrée on your next visit. Cheers!

   First experience with this restaurant. Found out used to be Cork & Fork. Food was very good, service excellent, little noisy. Felt it was a little overpriced. Got the grouper special. Fantastic flavor of everything on plate, but not much on that plate. Know fish is expensive but they could have at least boosted the quanity of sides. About a tablespoon of sweet potato and 6 beet chips. Desserts were not that great. Most restaurants don't do a good job with desserts. Lemoncello cake was dry and dense. Little bit of icing on top. Needed something in the center. Tiramisu was kind of bland. Drinks were fantastic, especially their version of an old fashion. When did restaurants stop giving bread baskets? There were bread plates on table, but not bread. When I asked, I was told they were appetizer plates. When I asked, "what I'd you don't get appetizers, then what are they called?" Waiter said, "an annoyance." Overall, was a nice dinner but don't think I will return. For $200 I shouldn't have to go home and have leftover pizza after my dinner.

   We're very sorry to hear that you did not thoroughly enjoy your experience. If you choose to dine with us again please make your server or a manager aware if you are unhappy with anything an we will do our best to correct that. We are always looking for areas of improvement. I am surprised to hear that you did not enjoy your desserts as many of our guests rave about their flavors. We do not offer complimentary bread to our guests, as most restaurants do not. The plates on the tables are for guests to share Tapas as that is a big part of menu, not for bread. Hopefully you will give us another chance based on the food and service and not the plates or absence of complimentary bread.

   Went here for day before Valentine’s Day dinner. Food was very good but service was slow due to not enough servers for this known day before a holiday that is traditionally busy for people who don’t want to go out on Valentine’s Day.

    The atmosphere was very nice. The service was perfect and our server was very nice and personable! The food was very expensive for the portion size and actual food on the plate. Fish dinner served with a teaspoon of sweet potato purée. I had pasta that was very tasty, but the shrimp was horribly over cooked. The cheesecake dessert was the best part. I’d order that again. Very limited wine selection.
