    Cute style but way overpriced for the low quality food. Our server was nice and had good energy but the whole experienced was tainted by the food

    Valentine’s Day was a disaster. Not to the fault of the staff but the logical coordination of everything was poor. First there was a line down the street for reservations. We waiting over 30 minutes then had to settle at a table outside with a heat lamp cause my gf was freezing standing in line in a dress. Second no where did it mentioned anything about a fixed menu for he night which was frustrating since that’s why I picked this place. All of our 3 course meal came out at the same time, our pastas were frozen by the time we finished our salad. Terrible dining experience

    I will NEVER choose this place for Valentines Day. How do you have an 8pm reservation and end up in line for 30 plus minutes with others who reserved AND walk-ins? Then, the 65 dollar limited choice meals were not appealing. We decided not to eat there and had to pay 20 bucks for two water bottles. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! LOL

    Did not matter if you had a reservation or not, still had to wait 40-60mins to be seated. The food it self was so unbelievably underwhelming and unseasoned. Staff was kind

    Never in all my life have I made a reservation, and then been told to wait outside in the cold for another 30+ minutes. And we were not alone, almost everyone in the extremely long line had a similar story. If you’re going to give the option for reservations you should honor the time that people commit to otherwise don’t offer reservations again.
