    Loved the ambience and location. They did a super nice job with the lighting and layout. Food itself was actually good too. The waitress that started the service was very nice but perhaps it was a shift change because I had to flag her down for a second drink for my kids. Our food was brought out by some other folks who seemed to also be the ones bussing tables. From then, it was impossible to get what appears to be our new waiter to come by to check on us when we needed basics like ketchup. Then after finishing our meals and waiting for at least 15 mins, I had to get up to ask one of the bus boys for a desert menu. Finally, after now the second round of waiting 15 mins for attention the waiter came by to take our desert order. Finally, was praying we could get the check before I’d need to get up again. That still took another 15+ mins after we were done with desert. Fortunately, I plan for worse case scenarios as we were going to see a show, and actually made just in time. Under normal circumstances we would have definitely been late. Such a shame that such a great start had to get soured by this lackluster experience.

    The food was great. The sticky date pudding is one of the best I have ever had. The pasta was an 11/10. Great Spot for a date night or even to chill with friends,
