    Made a reservation for 1:00 pm, stood in line for 10 minutes waiting for the hostess to return. Upon her return she checked in the couple before us and notified them of the 20 minute wait. We asked the couple if they had a reservation and they said yes. When it was my parties time to check in, we were also notified of a 20 minute wait time. We asked why we had to wait 20 minutes for a table when we reserved one. The hostess informed us that a reservation does not guarantee that you will be sat upon arrival. I have never experienced anything like this before and it’s rather unfortunate as the ambience of the establishment was beautiful and I looked forward to dining there. However, the issue around having to wait ruined the moment (mind you it was my birthday). Unfortunately, I will not be returning nor recommending this restaurant.

    We made reservation for 8 pm. We arrived at 8 and they said table is not ready .. it’s 15 mins. 820 pm I’ll ask and she said .. still cleaning the tables wait at least 15-20 more mins.. we left. This is not a place for locals .. they don’t care about the service. Not worth the try!

    I had a birthday get together . A total of 10 ppl. The waiter didn’t even acknowledge the celebration and I also told him it was my birthday. Everything I wanted they didn’t have . I wanted the lunch menu which started at 3:15 if I’m not mistaken and it was still couldn’t order it and didn’t have a time frame on when I can and couldn’t accommodate me . One of my friends drink had a bug on it and she still got charged for it . Some of the girls got attitude as they were ordering too. Overall the restaurant is beautiful but service is not good at all. I will not be coming back here again . I was so excited to celebrate and try it based on the Instagram posts . But I feel it was all a lie .

    We waited almost 40 min to get seated with a reservation. Staff wasn’t as friendly as I expected them to be. They also forgot to give us an item for a to go order.

    Enjoyed dining here first time. Will come back. Ambiance was nice especially music level. It was loud enough to be pleasant background but not so that you could have a conversation. Food was fantastic. And service attentive

    We were entirely disappointed. We chose Helena because of its promotion of mediterranean fare. Our charcuterie board was of little interest - hardly any cheese, bred or crackers - the board was filled with what looked like oversized cold cuts. The caesar salad has so much cheese on it that it was white and the roman was in giant pieces - hard to eat. Finally, the Cioppino entree was a disappointment. Seafood in Alfredo sauce - not a traditional tomato broth base. Overall. the meal was a heart attack waiting to happen - not traditional healthy mediterranean fare.

    The food had no taste, bland, I was better off going to the 711 and getting a hot dog with more seasoning!

    Restaurant is lovely inside and the drink menu is beautiful and tasty. The food menu was a tad smaller than we expected but everything was delicious that we ordered (meatballs, salmon and lamb chops). Watermelon salad was awesome too. I will say the tables are a tad tight...we were at a two top next to a 4 top on our right with a big tree on the other side. Which would have been fine except I think the waitress helping the 4 top was friends with the folks at the table and stood between our tables to talk to them for a reaaaalllly long time which put the phone in her back pocket basically resting on our table the entire time we were eating our appetizer which got really awkward. :)
