   We had reservations for 3 at 4:45 on a Saturday. We realized at 3:45 we would likely run late, we changed our reservation on the app to 5:15. When we arrived at 5, they had our reservation and we were seated right away. The service was good and timely. There was a bit of a wait for our check, but there was a QR code at the table to pay, so we just checked out that way with no issues.

   Table for two for a business lunch. Service was good. Restaurant wasn’t too busy for late lunch and it was easy to carry on a conversation. Server was good and food and drinks came out quickly. It’s my go to place for me since it’s close to SJC.

   DO NOT make reservations here, as the restaurant does not honor them. My family and I arrived at 5 pm for our reserved table, as we had tickets for an event. We were told there would be a 10-minute wait. At 5:30 pm, we were still waiting and saw others with reservations having the same experience. Moreover, walk-in customers were given the same wait times. When I inquired about our reservation at 5:40 pm, I was informed it would be another 20 to 30 minutes, but we could eat at the bar immediately. Frustrated but pressed for time, we opted for the bar. On a positive note, our waitress was exceptional. She quickly took our order and provided outstanding service, which somewhat redeemed our experience.

   Gina, we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with reservations. We understand how frustrating that must have been, especially with your event. Thank you for your kind words about our waitress; we’ll make sure to share your feedback. We’re working to improve our reservation process for the future.

   It's a little bit too dark in the overall restaurant and bar. A slightly more lit area around the dining room would help diners see where they are walking - the dark wood floors, dark furniture and poorly lit area in general makes it hard to maneuver.

   Thanks so much for your four-star review. We look forward to seeing you again soon, and we'll try for that fifth star.
