The restaurant was clearly stretched beyond it’s capacity Christmas Eve. They sacrificed good service and good food to book too many reservations for their wait staff and kitchen to adequately serve. Waiters 1) spilled my cocktail all over me, 2) delivered our dishes to the wrong table 3) took forever to serve the entree , 4) and when it did arrive it wad partially cold and unappetizing. They tried to make up with a free glass of wine but I would never go back.

We had the Christmas Eve prix fixe dinner, which required a deposit in order to make a reservation, and the kitchen and wait staff were completely overwhelmed. Service for our first two courses went smoothly, but then it got more crowded and things started to go very wrong. We waited at least 50 minutes for our third course without anyone from the staff ever saying anything to us about it. There was no point in letting them know, because most of the other diners had no food on their tables either. After more than half an hour, our waiter stopped by and cheerfully asked us if everything was going okay, as if he weren't aware there was a problem. The table next to us arrived at 6:30 and left at around 8:45 without having ever been served their third course or dessert. The table of four on the other side of us waited a very long time for their second course, then one person was served and finished before the second and then the third person were served. After a while, a staff member told the fourth person that they had run out of his order. We enjoyed the food, and this may well be a well-run operation on most nights, but I would caution people who are considering the prix fixe dinner on New Years Eve.

Food was not very good. Had the rockfish which was salty and dry. Pizza was served later than all of the dishes.

They open a back room on Friday and Saturday and it was quiet! Our server was prompt at figuring out our needs. The food was excellent and the coffee surprisingly good.

Superb food, great service, comfortable seating, prices moderate considering the cost of everything these days, a bit noisy, but overall—what's not to like?

Food was excellent but this is the loudest restaurant I’ve been in in a long time. Hard to hear dinner companion, hostess, servers. Impeded enjoyment of meal. I know it’s important to fix but really expensive. My hearing impaired husband and I loved the food but won’t come back on a busy night.
