I booked a Valentine’s Day reservation through OpenTable, only to arrive at the restaurant and find out it was closed. This was incredibly frustrating and completely ruined our plans for the evening. OpenTable should do a better job verifying that restaurants are actually open before allowing reservations—especially on important occasions like this. If they can’t maintain accurate listings, what’s the point of using the platform? Very disappointed and hesitant to trust OpenTable for future reservations.

The food was excellent but the gnocchi dinner was a bit skimpy. Make sure you get the chocolate olive oil cake, made with almond flour and with generous toppings of creme fraiche and brandied cherries - for dessert.
