Very disappointing experience. Twenty minutes at the table before we had our drinks. 45 minutes at the table before the server took our entree order. The portion sizes and food quality were underwhelming for the price. We do not plan to return.

This restaurant really needs to decide if it wants to have reservations and be willing to honor them by reserving tables for them. I had a reservation for 7 people at 330 because I was told my original reservation for 6 that switched from 415 to 330 because that's the only time that worked for a party of our size. We were told conflicting things prior to and at arrival. Prior to arrival, I was advised only half the party needed to be present to be seated. At arrival, we were told the whole party and that was later revised to they did not have a table available. We ultimately were seated some time after 420. We had to tell the manager about the situation, rather than the host staff escalating the issue. We were told some apps would be given once they were able to make a table available. Our server knew nothing about it and we had to ask about it. We had some apps provided eventually. Overall, poor experience and really frustrating.

The server was awesome! The food was very good, although my dish - short rib hash - was very salty. Potato Salad Deviled eggs and cheesy muffins were delicious! Next time we will try their famous giant cinnamon roll!

Table of 6 Lack of options to choose from Margherita Pizza - Crisped and dry plus it was missing the Basel which they just slapped on; TERRIBLE Tequila lime chicken taco - Too much going on and meat was cold lacked flavor Carne Asada taco - Same presentation and meat was cold and lacked flavor had an old meat taste; no bueno Spaghetti and Meatballs - Words can't explain, just lacked everything and meatballs were cold in the middle Miso Salmon - Dull colorless and flavorless Rigatoni alla vodka - Safer plate; crispy chicken was added and lacked flavor, cold and nearly any vodka sauce added The place is so classy and vibes are on point. We were seated around 9 p.m. so I'm not sure if this is why our food was terrible but I will not return.
