   Our Thanksgiving dinner here was a complete disaste. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait 30 minutes for our table. To pass the time, we grabbed drinks at the bar, but when we didn’t hear them call our name, the staff were dismissive and unapologetic about the delay. One of our group is gluten-free, and the restaurant’s handling of this was abysmal. We had called twice earlier in the day and the day before with no response to ask specificially about gluten-free options. When we got there and asked which menu items could be made gluten free, we were told they could not accommodate at all and only after repeated questioning were we told which items were gluten-free—which turned out to be practically nothing. The lack of effort in accommodating dietary needs was shocking for a $95 prix fixe menu. The service was also inattentive. Our waitress was kind but completely overwhelmed, likely due to being grossly understaffed. We waited a while for our food, and when it finally arrived, we had to request cutlery. Even then, plates were not provided, so we ate directly off the shared serving dishes. This level of disorganization for such an expensive meal was unacceptable. As for the food itself, it was highly disappointing. The turkey was a wing with barely any meat, that we were told when we ordered could be shared between three people. Other dishes were bland or uninspired—certainly not worth the hefty price tag. Dessert was the final insult. After dinner, we were directed upstairs for dessert, only to be turned away because we needed proof of payment—a detail the waitress never mentioned. We even showed the credit card statement and were told this was not enough. When we finally sorted this out, we were greeted with a sparse and unimpressive selection. Promised items like sweet potato pie and chocolate pecan pie were missing, and nothing, not even the macarons, was gluten-free. Overall, this was a poorly managed, overpriced experience. I would never recommend this.

   Waited an hour to be seated for my reservation. Food was just okay and not worth almost $300 for 2 people. Would not return

   The sweet potato waffles were delicious. I would like a little more fluff to them, but just a little. The chicken was fried a little too hard, I like crispy, not hard. However, it was a good meal.

   Food and our server Carlos were phenomenal. Otherwise we did not feel welcomed. It was Friday night and not crowded and we were continually berated for “being too loud”. We came here thinking it would be a fun night out.
