    Went for the Valentine’s pre-fixe menu and they ran out of some of the food and our reservation was at 7:15…. Our appetizers took forever and then our entrees came out right after and mine was cold. Would not recommend.

    Servers reaching over food placed in front of patrons which is disgusting. No telling what is falling off of the servers hands, not to mention hair. Reaching over one’s food is DISRESPECTFUL!

    Our food was borderline cold. Our server was amazing and he did a great job of taking care of us and listening to my feedback which is greatly appreciated. Management needs to have a better back up plan for systems and service not working.

    The food and drinks were pretty awesome and tasted great but when we arrived we waited about 30-45 minutes before we met our waitress and had our order taken, and were rarely checked up on throughout our time there, the family seated 20 minutes after us beside us dined before us and left before us
