Had a reservation & still had to wait on a table for several minutes. Food was equally disappointing, received the wrong order. Table and chair were uneven. All around disappointment. Will not return.

The host was obnoxious and made me feel very unwelcome. There is a small door to enter and it is a very crowded space. He made me feel that I was in his way upon entering. The restaurant is very crowded and the tables very small. Although the food was good and the waiter was very personable, I felt like I was on a stop watch from the minute I sat down. I felt rushed. My son is in a play at the theater next door and I normally recommend the restaurant. I will never recommend it again.
