They did not have sufficient wait staff and seemed to be focused on the large parties and not individuals having dinner. They asked us 4 times what our reservation was listed under, almost like they didn’t want us there. Brought out food and they didn’t have the order right but no one ever asked us how our food was. Will not be going back.

Our first time visiting this venue- we celebrated a birthday and everything was spot on! Started our meal with the Chorizo app and my Husband had Fettuccine Porcini and loved it, I had the lamb chops with baked potato- cooked perfectly warm center and they were delicious. We shared the chocolate soufflé for dessert. Service was timely and gracious.
