Made reservations 2 nights in a row. Both times the bar closed before our reservation. Never seen that before. Very unprofessional.

The only waiter they had working was obviously new, because she poured a white wine into my friend’s glass of red wine to top it off. Part of our order was forgotten 2 separate times. She was overwhelmed with 4 tables. Once things were dropped off it was few and far between when we actually saw the waitress so we weren’t even able to have the mistakes corrected. I ordered a flight of wine, which generally comes with table cards so you know which wine is which, but that didn’t happen. Three glasses were simply dropped off in front of me with no explanation. We ordered a crème brûlée at the end, but it seemed barely cooked. The hard fired sugar top was barely browned and soft and the underlying custard looked more like oatmeal. It was a very disappointing experience. The only good thing was the cheese board (despite missing one of the cheeses we ordered), and the chicken dish and salad were good.

Great place. First time, but it won't be our last. We were seated upon arrival. We really enjoyed the food and the service was top notch. Stan made us feel like VIPs with his smooth and timely pours (delicious) and attention to detail. Besides our laughter and catching up, the place was quiet and relaxing on the weekday we went. Perfect! Already looking forward to next time.

They cancelled our reservation an hour before we were scheduled. They decided to open late. Ruined our plans for our anniversary.

Our server, Savanna, was excellent! She offers helpful suggestions and regularly checks in to see how we're doing. And she never lets the water glass go empty, which is so important in this heat.
