We did not enjoy this experience. Restaurant looked amazing. The staff at front door was unfriendly, waiter was unfriendly. We were treated as if we were a bother. Noise level was unacceptable. Food was great, which was a shame. We left early and went for a walk on the neighborhood instead, so we could catch up.

Late lunch on a Friday was my first visit here. Location is fantastic--easy to find and close to Metro stop. Interior is lovely and outside dining plentiful. Menu was large and varied in terms of offerings and price. Food was delicious. Service not what I would expect for 3:00 pm in the afternoon and very few customers--greeter at the entrance stand with a bit of an attitude and busy with personal business on cell phone, no follow up on coffee refills, etc. Would try again, though, as food was great and environment very nice.

It was very crowded and loud inside. We got drinks at the bar and sat there until our table was ready since we arrived early. The happy hour is a great deal and we’ll probably be back for that. The food was good and they were helpful with my many allergies. We ended up eating outside which was more quiet, which we preferred.

They don’t have a full time host, so our reservation was delayed, and the servers’ sections were clearly disorganized and slapdash. Our appetizers came before our beverages, which were warm. Our server asked us if we wanted the bill before our dinner was served and when we told them we hadn’t yet eaten he was shocked. A logistical and managerial catastrophe.

For Mother's Day they had one server for inside and one for outside. As a result, our service was very slow, and we were flagging our server to get service. It wasn't our poor server's fault but the restaurants management. The food was above average. How they can have so few servers when the place was packed. I saw them turn a couple away because they were booked with reservations so it wasn't a surprise... It may be good on a slow weekend but don't plan a special dinner here.

A bit pricey. If you order a protein dish it comes with vegetables. You have to order the pasta separately. This makes it rather pricey. Food was average. The sauce on the pasta tasted like chef boyardee.

Food was 8/10 or 4 stars, however both the breakfast and Sette Burger were cooked on too high heat resulting in a scorched burger that’s undercooked. I’d rather a restaurant with a smaller menu that’s done well than a mediocre large menu. Stick to the pasta and pizza… the rest is nothing to write home about. The service for our large group was weak and we were barely acknowledged. A reservation was made but our table was still missing table settings and proper number of glasses. For this price point I expect better attention detail and service. Bathroom’s lack of attention is reflective of the overall service to their guests. Leaves much to be desired and that was disappointing considering the other high regards on OpenTable. Complaint to the manager was made however no option was provided to reduce the automatic gratuity to reflect the lack of service.
