    They were out of most of the items we ordered, and some of the dishes we ordered were not prepared as we had asked. The waitress, who is usually great, did not inform us why it was taking so long (over an hour) to get our first dish, until we finally asked. Apparently, there was a big party earlier (we arrived at 7:30), and there was only one chef.

    Hey Bill! I am sorry to hear your experience was not the normal AWESOME we strive for I know this to not be common for us The holidays are a tough time for restaurants and we were short staffed in the kitchen that night And even though we tried I know some of our guests were impacted I will reply privately so we can discuss Cheers

    My wife and I wanted to try a new place. She ordered a peach Bellini and liked it so much she had a second. I ordered a nice Zinfandel and has several glasses. We shared 5 or 6 of the “snacks” and got to sample several layers of their food. Everything we ate was delicious. It was quite enough that we could talk without raising our voices, but there was a constant barrage of interesting music playing. We liked it enough to plan a couples date with some friends for next month!
