The whipped potatoes and green beans were delicious. I made a reservation but the hostesses (there were multiple) did not read my reservation. I requested a table of 3 by the window. They wanted to seat us in a booth for 6 where we would have to shout at one another to be heard. Requested the table by the window where she said it was for reservations only. Had to send her back since I did make a reservation through this app to get the table. Did get it but why did they not pay attention at the beginning, it's not as though the restaurant was crowded? Other weird things, didn’t give us the early bird menu until asked, can't get happy hour drinks at the table, only the bar. My friends did enjoy their meals so overall it was an ok experience.
