    We were rushed out by the staff who “needed our table”. We weren’t there for long- they over-reserved the room and rushed us. It basically ruined our otherwise decent meal.

    Despite having a reservation for 7:30pm, we were put on a wait to get our table. After waiting around for 45 minutes we cancelled and went next door. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a weekend, because despite making a reservation you might not get sat and have your plans ruined.

    Very good food and service. The only drawback was the very high volume of the music--granted, we were there on a Saturday night--but since someone had posted on OpenTable that this restaurant had a quiet, date-night intimate atmosphere, I just wanted to say that that isn't true on a Saturday night! A bummer to have to shout to have a conversation, but otherwise, a very nice experience.
