    The food was great and the staff was nice but the service was not good. Food was late to arrive and it would take 40 minutes to get a drink.

    Chris, our server, was great. The ambiance was very nice. The food was good. We were hoping for a bigger brunch selection, but everything was good.

    The food and experience was Great. Definitely a pretty penny though so be prepared to spend $$$. But it was worth it from the bread, to the salad, Rasta pasta, & wine….top tier I will be sure to come again

    Food was good but over priced. Service was a little slow for dinner. Will go back but only for brunch or lunch.

    The host, our waiter/ bartender and the piano player were all outstanding. Beyond that, very unimpressed. Food was slow and poor. Neither meal was eatable, and it was pricey. Too bad. Used to be a truly great restaurant.

    Excellent service and food. We had a very enjoyable evening. The lights were flickering in the dining area, which was distracting. But the general environment, seating and music, were nice. The wait staff were all excellent.
