Due to the holiday season/rush (1 week before Thanksgiving weekend), we ended up waiting 20-30m past our reservation time, as did others. Staff was attentive and handed out hors d'oeuvres for those waiting. Once we were seated, service for drinks and food were back to your regularly expected service levels. The menu has changed a bit and they didn't seem to have more than (maybe?) 8 items walking around. I guess its typical for unpopular items to be cycled out of rotation. Still a 4/5 experience and would return.

Terrific salad, bar, and food. Good service the only downside was a delay in being seated for 30 minutes after my reservation. Although we enjoy this place, this is happened repeatedly before and management refuses to adjust how many people they allow to make reservations. We suggest that they reduced the number of reservations, so that people can be seated more timely manner.bar

This was my first time. I felt tables were too close together so I wasn’t comfortable from the start. Took some time to be greeted once seated. Karina was kind enough to explain how the experience would go but it was so hard to hear. For the price I expected exceptional food and was disappointed.
