Hardly saw our waiter. Unpleasant demeanor. Felt like we were at ruby’s down the street. Awful for a $600 bill.

This was our first time to this restaurant. We were a group of 6. I loved the moody ambience inside and our booth was nice and cozy. Service was great and we all loved our entrees. We all said the same thing during our meal, "we would come back." Parker rolls were delish, I had the chicken piccata (which was amazing) and there was an assortment of other entrees at our table, the filet, dirty pasta, etc. This was also walking dstance to Sherman Gardens, where we were going afterward for the Holiday Night of a Thousand Lights. It was a great experience and we will for sure come back.

We were never informed there was a strict two hour limit for our table until told when presented with our check. We weren’t even finished so they moved us without an apology to a patio table. I guess there’s always a first even for an 83 year old frequent diner.
