   Food and ambience were perfect, noise level was also good for me. Only thing was that when we arrived for our 8PM reservation, the only waiter I saw stated they were so busy. Mind you there were approximately 5 tables full and the entire bar was full. We waited 22 mins to place an order, but the wait time for the food was amazing, less than 15 mins. Overall my experience was great, I just did not appreciate waiting to order since I was pretty hungry. Place is beautiful, great drinks, delicious food, and great music.

   It was Valentines Day and they should have made their space more romantic. There was not one balloon to mark the occasion.Nothing.The space is also too brightly lit.They need to dim the lights and the menu is not very extensive.My husband and I settled on a Birria pizza to share and I must say it was very delicious! We were pleasantly surprised.I also had an expresso martini and it was pretty good too. Our server was very attentive and pleasant.In fact the staff were wonderful. I’m not sure if I would come back. Well maybe for the Birria pizza.It was that good!

   From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Eric (he’s amazing). The food while a bit pricey it was worth it and amazing. We will definitely be back.

   A group of friends and I visited this restaurant during WP’s Restaurant Month. While the food was absolutely delicious, the service left much to be desired. I don’t think the server appreciated that we ordered from the pre-fix menu offered for Restaurant Month, and I believe that influenced the quality of service we received. Everything was extremely delayed, and our server was completely inattentive. We’re not accustomed to having to call a server’s attention for something as simple as a refill, as it can feel impolite, but our server repeatedly walked past our table without noticing or addressing our needs. To make matters worse, our server forgot to place my order, leaving me waiting even longer. The server never acknowledged or apologized for the mistake—it seemed they didn’t even realize my plate was missing. Ironically, the busboy and host were far more attentive and helpful than our assigned server. Despite the frustrating service experience, the food and ambiance were excellent. It’s a shame the lackluster service overshadowed an otherwise enjoyable evening.

   Great good - the service could be better, but I assume they will work that out as time progresses

    I’m not sure if the waiter was new but he made an error with the order which is fine but when we asked him if what he sent to us was the said item we ordered he said yes. It actually wasn’t. Another waiter came around and helped us to correct the mistake. This happened with 4 items. We saw this happen to the people next to us also. Overall ambience was nice and decor is very nice. The food options are limited for people who don’t eat much meat but decent.
