    While the food tasted good, we were rushed a couple times which should be the case (or reservations should spaced a bit).

    Dear Jonathan, I'm so sorry to hear of your recent less than acceptable experience with us, especially in regards to the timing of the service you received. We always try to exceed our guests' expectations but unfortunately, sometimes fall short. Would you be willing to provide your contact information so I can have one of our managers get in touch? We truly appreciate your feedback; thank you. Chris B.

    Server was not attentive to our table and we waited a lot longer than needed, as I could see them not doing anything. Food was meh. Very disappointed as Lettuce restaurants always have great service and food.
