Our waiter was great!! The food was very good. Although many food items were not available due to the Christmas rush. Very understandable. On the way out the male hostess just stared at us, I was kind of waiting for a thank you or a goodbye, but all we got was a stare down. We will be back but not in a rush. Left with bad vibes.

As usual the sangria (we got the blood orange and the black cherry lavender lemonade ) was delicious!! We always get the bacon wrapped dates, spinach dip, calamari, truffle fries, and salmon tartar. Although it seems like they skimped out a bit with the salmon tartar (they usually serve a bit more) everything and our server was amazing.

We were disappointed. The hostess was rude, the table was way to small for a venue that features shareable plates, the service was lagging and the food was fair. Despite this, the place was packed. Perhaps our experience was unusual but I can neither recommend it nor do I anticipate returning.
