    The manager turned the lights up in the restaurant before we were done with our dining experience. This is generally frowned upon in the hospitality business. It is a very unwelcoming gesture. We had actually just received our entrees. Cool place, good service, tasty food, poor management decision.

    The food is usually amazing, unfortunately last night it was subpar. Like I said definitely outside the norm. Noise level was super loud, but there was a holiday party going on in the next room so again, not the norm. Service was outstanding in our waiter was amazing!

    Previous visit ordered the short ribs, They were extremely salty... too salty to eat. Thought maybe the kitchen made a mistake. On this visit, tried the short ribs again. And again, way too salty.
