The waiter was very nice, but service in general was SLOW. My partner ordered a pizza and I ordered the duck breast for our entrees. The pizza came out 15 minutes before my duck breast did, and when that finally came out, the runner dumped some sauce on it and looked like he hated his job. The food was fine. Very one note, not something to write home about. The beer on tap was warm, so my partner had three choices of beer, two of which being IPAs. This experience would have been better if our entrees were brought out at the same time. Didn’t think we would have to specify that

Good ambiance and decor. A little noisy and not quite intimate. Food was excellent. Price as expected. Server was attentive. Food came out relatively quick.

This was WAY overpriced. We did the valentine’s meal. The menu items were awful. They were trying to take an elevated spin on all of the dishes and they were not good. The combinations of food just didn’t pair well. We ended up having to eat a second dinner afterward because we left so hungry.

From host to server the staff looked miserable and did not have an inviting feel, they could care less if you’re dining with them ! Our order also took forever and was not correct we had to return it.

Umm weird vibes here. Upon arrival the hostess was just uninterested in greeting or seating us. He had to have a whole (and lengthy) conversation with another employee before I had to interrupt just to say hello. :/ Then we ordered and the waiter (while she was sweet and nice) kept explaining to us what we ordered and assumed we didn’t want our choices because they were not fried and the steak tartare was raw -___- The chicken Marsala and the clam linguini were so mid, it was confusing. Would love to see a new dessert option. The bartender was a wiz and definitely knew how to do is job. Just not how I expect to be interacted with and I guess my expectations were just too high.
