   Steer clear. The food was meh but expensive. Our server was relatively inattentive. It was a Saturday night and they had booked several large parties (including a bridal shower) which they could not really handle as we were seated 20 minutes after our reservation time. It was very noisy- large rooms full of hard services so all you could hear was a general buzz, making it hard to hear the people at our small table of three. To make matters worse they has music coming through the speakers that added not ambience but just upped the noise level.

   Fantastic food and service. Drinks are also excellent. Had large party with coworkers and people from out of town. Great place to try and share a lot of different dishes with others.

   Very nice environment. Food was good. Server got order wrong and we probably ordered too much and server guidance would have been appreciated. Server missed little things like serving utensils for sharing items. The food runners kept bringing us food that belonged to another table. We found it to be very loud and heard to hear. I think I would visit again in the summer to sit outside.

    Unfortunately they sent out the wrong item to us, my food came out cold and when time to get the check I gave my card, receipt came I signed for it & didn’t receive my card back. Later waitress found it still in the machine, I had two charges on there one of which wasn’t mine. I called that same day to report to manager they took all my info and no one ever called. I called again “manager was busy again” and I left info AGAIN and still no call or email. Both charges were processed and still haven’t received any response but overall I would never return to that location again. poor management
