    Our server was not very attentive and took an hour in order for them to bring water to the tables and hour and even longer for the food to come out. Everyone else around got their food before us and even some that got there way after we did. Food was amazing and ambience was great! Service could use lots of work.

    Great spot for a nice dinner. Michelle (manager) was so kind and welcoming. She even gave us tips on what to do for the rest of the evening in the area. We will be back!

    It's a cool location and a nice vibe, but kind of underwhelming. We came for a drink and dessert and the dessert (a tart) was lame. It was served cold, was $13, and basically felt like something we could have bought at whole foods for a quarter the price. The description talked about blackberries, so we expected they'd be plated with the dish. Instead, 2 tiny partial pieces of blackberry were hidden inside the Tart.
