    It was Christmas Day. It was very busy. I had a reservation, but we never got seated due to the kitchen being backed up. So, we stayed in the bar area and had our dinner. It was ok. The orders were wrong, but they made it right. All in all, I won't be going back. I felt like the staff was overwhelmed and their faces showed it.

    This was Christmas Day and we were grateful the restaurant was open. We had a reservation and were seated within ten minutes of our scheduled time. We did wait an hour for our food to be served, but it was a holiday. The food was delicious. My party of six all enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was very accommodating. We will definitely be back.

    They overestimated their reservations on Christmas. We got our table 45 minutes late, the food took 45 minutes come. They told us they ran out of bread after we asked for it 5 times. Only 3/4 of us got our food, the last plate took an extra 15 minutes. The first 3 dishes were cold. The food didn’t taste very good (none of the four dishes). We wouldn’t go back.

    For starters, the plates , glasses, and silverware were filthy dirty with caked-on dry food.:( The food was foul and took over an hour just to get. :( Believe it or not, I’ve never left a bad review for a restaurant in my life , but was so disappointed and disgusted after yesterday’s meal and the unsanitary conditions of this restaurant. :(

    Waited too long (about 25 minutes) for a table with a reservation. Loud. Table crammed in back near restroom and kitchen so lots of traffic passing by and hitting back of chairs and disruptive.

    Great food- great service- but they are understaffed/ only a few servers in the dining room trying to handle these large parties. We had Alex as our server and he was amazing! This was our first time at this restaurant and we will be back- just please hire more people if possible.

    I didn’t stay and have lunch here when we arrived. We waited and waited. Finally the host came said he would be back and never came back for 10 minutes. We finally just left. I will never go to this restaurant again.
