   As always Maja was awesome. I will say that the new plating for the hummus is not the best. It’s like a pile of mashed potatoes on the plate. Bring back the OLD bowls, not the deeps soup bowls, please!

   Went for brunch. Coffee was cold. Multiple cups. If every diner and fast food place in america can serve hot coffee, you can certainly learn to do so for $5 cups and $20 entrees.

   Great restaurant, food and service. Very loud but could still hear the conversation at the table with extra effort.

   Wish the food was as good as the ambiance. Got the lunch special and wrap was dry and tasteless. Brussels appetizer was just so so and cookie dessert same. Nobody at the table said a positive word about any of the items.

   The flaw for the evening was a management one. Accepted way too many reservations, well beyond what the restaurant can accommodate. Thus a 45 minute wait for a table despite being on time for reservation, then a long wait for food because the kitchen was slammed. Staff worked tremendously hard to make up for a situation created by poor management and planning. But despite their sincere efforts, damage was done. We won’t be back.

   We're sorry for the wait and inconvenience caused by overbooking, Eric. Thank you for acknowledging our staff's efforts, and we'll work on better managing reservations to improve future experiences.

   The food was outstanding! We loved our entrees and starters and drinks. We would come again! Only critique was that we had a reservation but still had to wait 15 min for our table. It seemed that it was not managed well for a Friday Valentine’s Day dinner.

   A very mixed experience - restaurant overbooked their Valentine's Day evening. We didn't get seated for 45 minutes after we arrived for our reservation, and it took an additional 15 minutes for a server to visit our table. Both getting seated and getting assigned a server only happened after we checked in with the staff. Our server was great, took good care of us the rest of the night. Seemed pretty clear everyone was trying their best and being gracious, and whoever was in charge just didn't staff enough people for the night & allowed too many customers in for the night. Food was great, and they comped us a drink each, so that was nice given the circumstances.

   We're sorry for the delays you experienced on Valentine's Day, David. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service once seated.
