Had reservations, and got seated 45 mins later , couldn’t walk out because they make you pay a deposit that is non refundable, now I see why , very unorganized, people were coming in after me and were getting seated. Walking in there was no one at the front to even check in anyone . Worst experience ever

The food was horrible! No flavor, no zest. Soggy and mushy. Overpriced and overhyped. The ambiance was amazing. The service was great. A glass of Cabernet was $28, and there were no other choices. Go for the atmosphere, not the food!

Made a New Year’s Eve reservation for 2 at 10pm. Got there at 930pm. We got seated at 11:45pm. Not the first time this place makes me wait an unreasonable amount of time. NEVER GOING BACK!

I came to this restaurant for my birthday. The energy in this restaurant did not make me happy. Also I brought my cake and they refused to cut my cake due to health hazard reasons, however they said only way they would still cut the cake was if I paid an addtl 16 dollars person. I felt hustled and the experience was very distasteful, upsetting and overall a ruined birthday experience. I highly would not recommend.

Had a good experience, other than being told there was no coffee/cappuccino because the machine was broken. Would’ve liked to stay and enjoy the ambience longer and have coffee and was unable to.
