    Honestly the wait staff was great and kind, they just didn’t have many food options left and they kept bringing wrong drinks to the table. With as busy as it was and how large our party was I felt they did do a fantastic job and that aside, everything else was exceptional.

    Food was amazing and we love eating here. This was our first time at the new location and I had no idea when I booked our reservation that we wouldn’t get a normal dinner table. So just be careful if you book ahead. We sat at bar table with couches and with 4 of us it was difficult to eat a regular meal. We asked for a different table but unfortunately they said they couldn’t move us. Still we will be back but now we know about the tables

    It was great! The only thing was we were sat close to the main door and whenever anyone came in or out it was FREEZING. Not a huge deal but made a difference while we were trying to enjoy ourselves.

    We enjoyed the upscale ambience of the new stuffed olive. The food is as good as ever and the service excellent. It’s quiet so you can talk without any difficulty. I like all the different seating choices.

    Too loud and being seated next to the door and being blasted with cold air everytime the door was opened was no fun. Most likely not coming back.
