Received our first appetizers almost 45 mins after ordering and were told they weren’t “up to the chef’s standards” - they were oysters and calamari lol. About another 45 mins later we got our main meals - a pasta and a salad. Had multiple tables around us get to the restaurant after, eat their full meals and leave before we even received our food. First time having an experience like this here, but was a little disappointing with my mom being out of town.

We were seated for our 6 pm reservation promptly. The server greeted us promptly but our food took almost 2 hours. The steaks were cooked perfectly but the crab cake and Mac and cheese were cold. We were told half the staff was cut early which led to the long wait times and neglected service. We were celebrating a milestone birthday and the guest of honor was underwhelmed. We will not be back anytime soon.

I had to look up online how to fix the issue. not a good experience. food was also mid and why is brunch service so long? we wanted a different menu for our 3pm meal and we had to eat breakfast food.
