Great food and amazing drinks! The ambience was definitely needed to be adjusted. The lights were like hotel style all on. Didnt really set a good mood, unfortunately.

Only four stars on service as we had to wait a while. In fairness, it was right after 12 noon and they were pretty busy!

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile, as I had heard good things from a friend. It was pretty dead when we arrived. Maybe 5 people in the whole restaurant. For it to be so not busy everything took too long. 15 mins for drinks. 30 mins for one appetizer and over 45 mins for two entrees. The food was good, the wait was the problem.
