    I rarely write reviews but I cannot recommend this restaurant. Our Cava and Brut Rose was flat, the salad was mushy and just not good, the broccolini was hard to cut into with a steak knife because it wasn't cooked. We didn't eat it beyond one bite. Our server was inexperienced but very nice -- the staff needs training. We paid as soon as we could and left. I woke up at 2:30 am with an excruciating stomach ache and was sick from this dining experience. I booked this because of its "exceptional" rating on Open Table. Doesn't stand up to this rating. We will not be back.

    We had a great time. Restaurant was accommodating, service was quick, and food was delicious. Really enjoyed the queso, chicken skewers, short rib, and broccolini. Nice vibe for group meal. Would recommend!

    The host and our waiter were very accommodating to us. From our seating request to inquiring about menu items and food allergies. It was for a special occasion, and the experience added to our celebration.

    We had a 7:15 reservation and weren’t seated until after 7:40. The host seemed confused, offered no explanation, and just told us to wait at the bar. No apology, no effort to make it right, and when we asked about comping our drinks, the staff seemed annoyed. Service was chaotic: food runners dropped plates with no interaction, our waiter avoided eye contact, and replaced our plates before the steak arrived but didn’t bring new silverware, leaving us to eat off dirty ones. No leadership, no hospitality. A total mess from host to manager. I wish I could directly tip the chef; the food itself was amazing. But I won’t be back.

    The food and service was excellent. I have Celiac, a gluten allergy, and the restaurant was super accommodating in the preparation of my food. A waiter brought me a separate menu where he had marked items that contained gluten, and marked other dishes that could be prepared without gluten. I ordered a delicious salad, and chicken skewers. Both delicious. The inside is very pretty and has a very nice bar. The rest of my party had a variety of shared dishes and enjoyed all.
