    Steak was overcooked and tough. Pasta was good. But Valentine's Day was overpriced for value.

    We went to this restaurant on Valentines day and were seated in the "overflow" area though we had a reservation. The food was OK but they had a Ribeye dinner on their fixed menu for the evening. The steaks that were brought out were strip steaks, not ribeyes, and were not cooked properly based on our requested doneness. In addition, they ignored us most of the time due to being put in this overflow area. When confronted about the food issues and lack of service they explained that we were accidentally seated back there. I don't know about anyone else, but I would not accept providing less than adequate service because someone doesn't have a reservation. You'd be better off turning them away. Having a reservation this just made it worse.

    Not all the food was good and with flavor as expected for the price. The site says about 30-50 dollars per person and it turned out to be 70$ a plate.

    Our visit happened on February 14. The food was delicious and the drinks were fine. The reason I gave this visit 4 stars is because of the following: 1. When I made the reservation, nowhere in the available information on Open table did it state that for that evening there was only a “preset menu”. However, the menu did have enough options to choose from. 2. Our waiter was nice and attentive and took our order right away. But he was so busy that he hardly made it back to our table. It is true that the food runners came by a couple of times. Of course, I understand it was Valentine’s Day’s. That’s why I will be back on a regular evening to enjoy an amazing meal accompanied by great service.
