    Wine was great and fairly priced. Food was above average, but took awhile to come out. All around 4/5.

    There were only 4 employees taking care of about 75 ppl. We made our reservation 2 months in advance via OpenTable, and when we arrived there was an office party of about 50 ppl occurring. We were not made priority and it took 45mins for us to receive the 1st course and 1st drink. Our wine was served 30mins before each course. It was a great value for the food, but the service ruined all of that. When we received our food, it was so cold that we had to request to-go boxes. This was my 2nd time here and I will not return.

    Always a great experience here! My wife and I were married here on November 10, 2023. We decided to return for our 1st anniversary. We had the same dish as at our wedding. It was an amazing experience.

    The main issue we had was with the slow service. We had a 7:30 reservation and were not served our entrees until after 9pm. The food was not very good and one dish was cold. Staff was severely undermanned. Both in the kitchen and in the dining room. Wine was good

    Unfortunate evening! Our reservations were for 6:30pm. We had another event reserved for 8:00pm two blocks away. We placed our appetizer order. We wanted to place our dinner order at the same time because we were on a schedule for the other event. The server said not to place the entree order yet. He’d be back. After the appetizer was delivered, we placed our entree order and stressed to him, again, that we were on a schedule. He said we wouldn’t have any problems. 10 minutes later he came to the table to say that the chef said the salmon would take at least 15 minutes (putting us way too close to the time we needed to leave). He offered us a free round of drinks. It took an extra 20 minutes to get three pasta dishes and one salmon dish to our table. It is important to know that besides the four of us, there was only ONE other table of five. The rest of the place was completely empty. When our dinners finally arrived, we immediately asked for boxes and the check. We needed to get out asap. The server said he’d get them immediately. He disappeared and then returned, not to come to our table but to check on the other table. After a few minutes, he disappeared again and then returned with the check and boxes. While we were waiting for the check and the boxes, we tried to eat a little before he returned. The pasta dishes weren’t even hot. It was clear that they sat out while the salmon was being prepared. All of this could have been avoided if he had taken our dinner order when we wanted to place it (with the app order). He was well aware of our other plans and the restaurant was certainly not busy.

    Beautiful atmosphere inside. Enjoyed our wine and music. Dinner service was very slow. Appetizers took forever to arrive. Lobster mac and cheese is not real lobster. Steak was delicious. Pricing reasonable. Overall it was an average experience.
