   Food was good but not great. I was a little underwhelmed and expected better and hotter food. I think the best item were the wings. It was nice they had happy hour but our server didn’t ring everything up that way. I had to ask for correction. Restaurant was clean except for the covered patio/main entrance where I watched a bird constantly playing around with twigs from his nest dropping all over a nearby table and floor where people are walking in and out of. They need a blocker. Experience was overall good but I was not amazed.

   Sold out of the most popular items. Pushy to close restaurant. Turned off music and lights up 2 mins past the closing time. Very rude. When a customer pays for a meal you should have a grace period to let them enjoy their experience. I work in this industry and this is an awful thing to do to guests. Very bad customer care.

   Overall it was an OK experience but not a place I’d take the time to make a reservation and go back to. Started with the hostess passive aggressively scolding us for being 20 min early to our reservation, no offer to grab a drink at the bar or any comment about getting us to our table except for “we will be happy to seat you in 20 min when your 7:30 reservation starts”. We weren’t asking to be seated early we were just checking in so she knew we were there. The waiting area was non existent and so we sat on a small wall out front of the restaurant. When we sat down our waitress was very pleasant but after placing our order we learned they were out of the steak. Seems like an odd item to run out of. Keep in mind this was 7:30 not late night dining at the end of a busy night. Once we placed our order it took a very long time to get the food. We like a nice slow process but this was excessive even by our relaxed preferences. The food was good, not over the top phenomenal but I wasn’t dining at a place I expected 5 star food. But it definitely was well made with quality ingredients. Dessert was delicious and as mentioned our waitress was very nice and provided good service especially considering she was tasked with telling more than just our table that the kitchen was out of one thing or another. The two top we were seated at was crammed next to other two tops and if you had a server talking to either table on our right and left they had their rear ends in our faces. Not the servers fault but the restaurant should consider a little more room for their tables and the surrounding area so their staff can get to tables without pushing into another tables eating space. Seemed to me like this is a new place still very much working out the kinks and has some more work to do. Overall the food was good but the ambiance and initial greeting left a lot to be desired. Probably won’t go back unless happen to be in the area and walk in for a lunch service

   Our overall experience was disappointing, especially considering the price. We anticipated a more exciting dining experience. Our appetizer arrived after the main course, and the steak frites, the most expensive dish we ordered, were overly salty. To top it off, we weren’t even provided a steak knife. The oysters on the half shell, which we ordered as an appetizer, were inconsistent—only two of the four had hot sauce. For the rigatoni a la vodka, they were out of rigatoni, so we were given a different pasta that was notably small for $22. Additionally, the booth next to us remained dirty for the first 30 minutes, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Despite the promising online photos and reviews, both the atmosphere and service fell short of expectations. Unfortunately, we don’t plan on returning.

   The menu options were okay, but the food we got was not actually what was in the description. What we got was good, just not 100% accurate. Not sure if they ran out of certain ingredients or something, but we were not notified of a substitution. They were out of a popular wine on a holiday which seems like poor planning on the beverage manager’s part. Our server, after we reviewed our entrees, disappeared. We could have walked out & no one would have noticed because she didn’t come to the table for a good 20 minutes. The downturn in service as the meal progressed put a damper on the experience. Overall, I’m not sure I’d go back. With so many options here in Chandler, an okay restaurant doesn’t merit a return visit.

   Inexperienced hostess & wait staff. Priced way too high for what you get. Food too salty. Much better value elsewhere.

   Nothing special, just alright. With that being said, their food items are not worth the price. Cocktails are good, service was eh.

    Wow what a disappointment. Probably one of the worse experiences and service in a long time. The food was disgusting but the service made it even worse. Such a shame because it had potential but won’t be going back!
