The food was good however we waited an hour for our steak which meant we ate it seperate to the side dish that had been served 40 minutes earlier
The 2 entrees calamari and Caesar salad were good
The waitperson did explain the food would be served as the chef prepared it a little self indulgent to this it is ok to wait so long for the main event
The menu was limited and they had run out of 3 of the selections by the 7:30 seating
The service was so so
This was our second time experiencing this menu and the overall experience was consistent including menu options being unavailable and the randomness of the dishes being served
Good to experience something different however will pass on the next pop up

Everything was perfect. The 'feed me' menu had so much food included and it was all 10/10. Service was exceptional. Highly recommend.
