    The whole reservation process is highly flawed. No one picks up the phone. No one replies to emails or DMs and the open table is a hoax because within .1 second of an alert table is taken yet they constantly send alerts.

    Reservation times open at midnight a month out. This place is beautiful! We were seated upstairs which is less noisy than downstairs. Food and drinks were excellent. We did shared platters which were more than for our party of three. We almost didn’t have a hug enough tabletop for all the food! Our server was also wonderful.

    3rd visit. Longest we had waited for a server but was nice once he came over. The music was a little more, um, different than previous visits. I mean Missy Elliot , kinda felt like a 90’s dance club. 🤣 But as usual the ambiance and food were amazing!

    We waited months to get a reservation and it was WELL WORTH IT! Food was fantastic, and the drinks were creative and delicious. Thank you to the staff for helping us celebrate my girlfriend’s grad school graduation with the champagne toast. A nice touch on a great evening.

    Food was tasty, main meat dishes were nothing to write home about, but the dips and salads were great. Ambience and service were amazing. Cocktails and wine selection were great. Overall worth the price. Would come again!
