    Our food took forever and when it arrived it was over cooked and cold. I sent my cold food back and was not offered a replacement, I just didn’t get dinner. My meal was taken off our bill but that was it, a manager never stopped by or anything.

    Ambiance and decor lovely; a bit crowded and above average noise level; food was hit or miss - half of the dishes were lacking flavor and presentation; service was less than expected and needs improvement; a pleasant experience though not one that I would recommend or return to soon

    Service was great. Location and ambiance was pretty good. We sat up stairs which was a little over crowded. The food was fine. Nothing was wrong with it but nothing stood out as unbelievable that I’d recommend as a must have. I’d go back but would hope for a better dish next time.
