The forced prefix for reservations feels extremely scammy and the wording about ‘gratuity included’ is misleading, it’s not included in the prefix price, they write it in by hand when they drop the check. Will not return.

I had my birthday party here and while it was really nice space together with friends , they didn’t wrap up the other half the cake that we brought for us to leave with and I ended up getting a splinter on my leg from their bench dining seating. Overall, I probably wouldn’t go back here. Wine and beer was supposed to be a part of our prefix option, but all my friends were only offered sangria. It felt very low effort.

The food was delicious, starting with the bread, appetizers and main course, it was all great. the server was pleasant and we very much enjoyed it all. They rush us out of the table asap and even offered to go cups. But I will go again, we loved it

The service was good. The overall experience and food was nice. It’s just that our server seemed to be all over the place, but he did service as well, but we kept asking for things and then he would pop up on a table that’s not ours and what we asked for was still not at our table. We would wait for like five minutes and then we would have to remind him again, but overall, he was really sweet, but I felt like he wasn’t really giving much attention as he could’ve.

Really lovely dinner! It was delicious, the pre-fixe was a good value for making a reservation. Definitely a noisy, but we were still able to have conversation as a table of 4.

Their pre-fixe menu doesn’t make sense. For folks who aren’t drinking, it’s cheaper to do the regular menu with even two coffees than it is to do the reservation. I also had a waitress who literally sneered at me when I mentioned it was my birthday. Food was okay, but definitely not worth everything else I mentioned and also really harsh on your friends who are autistic.
