   I do hate how close the tables are together. We can hear everyone’s conversation so we asked to be moved and they moved us. But also good food and service.

   The music and noise level was so loud that it ruined the experience. The quality and taste of the food was lost in the noise. I would not recommend this unless you enjoy a noisy environment.

   They accommodated a time change and still sat us in the sunset room. Great service as usual and the best whipped eggplant and dough bubble ever tasted.

   HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. We were sat at a table next to the kitchen door, so we kindly asked if there was another table. The hostess was RUDE, AGGRESSIVE, and LIED to us. She said the table we pointed at was for 4 people yet she just sat another party of 3 there (just like my party).. She has brown hair and blue eyes. We said that to her and she began to insult my intelligence… I HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE in Business, how dare you! You do not say to people that they “do not understand you” and begin to speak slowly as if I’m a child… Again, I am highly educated and should NOT have had such an experience. She asserted that everyone in my party “did not understand her.” Meanwhile, she clearly had some type of bias or issue. NOT OKAY!!! Worse customer service I’ve ever seen and this woman should NOT be dealing with customers. DO BETTER, Elephante!!!!

   they almost seated us at a great table but then made us get up and wait for twenty mins to then be seated in the dark corner by the bathroom. So strange. No server came to the table for another 20 mins. Horrible experience
