    First time dining here. Great view of downtown. I had a good time catching up with friends. The music was good too. Definitely a good Friday after work spot.

    Food pretty overpriced for what it is. A number of things didn’t come until we reminded them. Good spot to sit for a drink and quick appetizer before going to dinner somewhere else

    This was supposed to be a curated menu experience for V-Day. And, we sooooo wanted to support local business. But, at ~$125 per person, there was so much lacking. We arrived on time, only to be told we would need to wait for 30 mins to be seated. Once seated, the curated menu was lack luster (blah). I did not see anything across the 4-courses that screamed $125pp. More so, how do you have a menu without options for people with shellfish or other allergies?Additionally, the meal did not include any type of drink…lemonade, sweet tea, a glass of champagne…nada! It was so disappointing. After waiting for some time and only getting a glass of water, we decided to leave. Fortunately we were lucky enough to get a table at Sitti (old faithful) where we were greeted, seated, served warm bread, drinks, appetizers, dinner & dessert for ~&125 total. I’m glad we decided to leave because I could not imagine paying $250+ for dinner only to be disappointed. I was rooting for this place. You should also know that it is truly a bar. There were people with reservations being seated at the actual bar. How is that romantic for V-day? I hope if they try this again next year, there is better planning….including getting the frazzled hostess more help—she was struggling to keep it all together. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sincerely, Restaurant Management

    Waited 40 extra minutes for a table and terrace bar forgot our order. Didn’t have silverware, napkins, or water until after the first course was served
