    Service wasn’t the best , had to ask for a glass of water 4 times and asked for appetizer plates over 4 times finally had to get a manager to get them . Wanted us out by 7:00 and we were finished but had to wait for waitress for quite some time . We could have left without paying and nobody would have even known ! If the service was better it would have been a great experience, unfortunately they’d not what we received .

    Service was great. New menu items which was a surprise but made this visit more fun and eager to try something new. Only complaint is some of the menus prices. Could only wish it wasn’t $37 for the Korean Ribeye and the portion made the price not worth it either. Everything else was great

We truly appreciate your thoughts on the Spicy Korean Ribeye, and we’ll definitely take your comments about portion sizes and pricing into consideration.

    Waited for our table, even with reservations. The food gave me a stomach ache and our waitress had a bit of an attitude. Not my best experience with culinary dropout

    We went to bar Blitzen, as part of there Christmas pop up. The only word is overrated. I saw videos on TIC TOC and they do not look anything like I witnessed. It was okay and WAY overpriced.

    It took a long time for the food to arrive at the table after we ordered. Several tables that arrived after us got their orders first.
