    Loved it - food was great, decor and vibe was really nice. Service a LITTLE slow but we weren't in a hurry. We went for lunch/brunch so not sure how loud it may get when full at dinner time. Very nice overall and LOVED my tacos!!! SO good - would come back just for those!

    OH NOOOOOO! The manager was awful, the food was cold. But atleast the waitress was apologetic about the food temperature & the lack of good service.

    We go most weekends to this restaurant. The service is pretty good. This past weekend very slow The lighting is much too bright. Need to make restaurant more comfortable cozy. Turn music up. We have asked this many times when we are there. Nice owners. Great wine and cocktails. Need to stop taking popular items off the menu.

    Very expensive for "just OK" food. We have no problem paying for a quality experience, but this was not it. To top it off, we were there for two hours because the service was so slow and the waitress rarely made it back to the table to refill drinks or check in with us and it wasn't very busy. You can't really judge a place based on only one experience because everyone has a bad night and we get that. We'll probably go back just to check out the bar because we live local. However, due to it being so overpriced, I haven't been able to recommend this place to anyone on a gamble. There are far better restaurants a short drive to St. Joseph if you're looking for a nice dinner.

    Food was excellent. We ate in the main dining area and found the noise level to be a little louder than it could have been. I’m sure the hard surfaces in that room create some echoing. My only other complaint is that our hostess that evening seemed a little put out that we asked to be moved from the bar area to the main dining room even though we had reservations. All that said we would go back in a heartbeat.

    The food was REALLY good, and the waitstaff very friendly & helpful. There was an event with a live band going on outside, and that's why it was fairly noisy.

    Fantastic food! They were a little understaffed on Labor Day Sunday. Could also use some sound dampening panels in the back room. Talked to the manager and she said that was in the works. Will return and give this place another chance. Mainly on the strength of their food.
