    The woman in the phone, I assume the hostess, was a bit "catty". We called saying we were a few minutes away ( tad late for our reservation and she made it seem like there was a line out the door and we would have to sit at the bar....only to arrive 5 minutes later with many empty tables and to be seated immediately ) Might be a bit harsh to take a star away just because of her but honestly causing undue anxiety is just so unnecessary. I get it if you've got angry patrons waiting for a table but if that's not the case then please don't stress someone out 5 minutes from arriving at your restaurant. the service was fast, attentive, helpful, clean, friendly, wonderful. Adam was an absolutely wonderful sever. Totally on top of everything - knows the menu well and guided us through it perfectly to land us at exactly what we wanted. Real human with a great sense of humor :) We would come back just for Adam! The spot in general Great selection of champagne Great service overall - very attentive, prompt, clean etc Great ambience Great place for a date, would definitely recommend!

    Angel is amazing. He treated me very kindly and was there for anything I needed throughout my meal. I was solo dining during lunch and no one bothered me or rushed me out. I was there for hours. If you get angel as your server, you are lucky.
