    オーダーしてから、40分も待たされました。 予約したことの意味。サラダとドリンクだけ先に出てきたのはよかったけど、あいだがあいたためにお腹が落ち着いてしまい、美味しく食べれなかった。

    Chef was amazing. Managers were useless. Had reservation at 7:00PM didn’t see our chef till 8:30. Poorly managed and operated. Service is slow but the servers hustle. Good place if you want to spend a lot of time at dinner.

    Cook was fantastic but the kitchen was no help. He has to repeat ask for the items ordered for table. Waitress spilled water on table reaching over clients. Not a big show. We had to wait on reservation bc they sat a walk in at our table by mistake. Watch your time. Lots of room for improvement. Food was excellent; however.
