Service was slow and seemed to be un experienced. The food was pretty good, although they did not have one of the tapas we ordered.

Went to the Candlelit concert at the theatre and decided to eat at the uptown lobby beforehand. Food was delicious and we made it to the concert right on time.

It was not a good experience. It was 5:15, only 2 other tables of ppl , so not busy. The waitress was new, so trying to cut her some slack… ordered a Mojito , but they did not have the ingredients, so I tried to go simple & ordered Pinot Grigio( white wine) it took a long time as “she had to go to the basement to find it” only to return with a glass of red wine( Pinot Noir) she did not know the difference. When I viewed the website it looked like they had some type of ahi tuna that I was looking forward to. Turns out they had a handful of appetizers, but only a burger for an entree… really??!! It taste good, but suddenly the selection was reduced to “0”! The ambience was good, a cool renovated old building, but besides that it was very poor service and selection.

Impossible to judge this place on this occasion as they had some problem in the kitchen and weren't serving dinner. They were kind enough to call and let us know prior to our arrival, but I didn't get the message. When we arrived, they issued us generous gift cards to make up for our trouble, which was an excellent gesture. We will be happy to give this place another chance because of their reactions.

John, I am very sorry we had a series of unfortunate events that evening. The primary one being our chefs were waiting for a truck delivery that did not arrive until after our Lobby opened that day. This was impossible to make up for as our chefs were waiting on items to prep for service. To be fair to guests and chefs we had to make the tough decision to close the kitchen for the PM and begin prep for the next day.

We were there at 5:00 reservation - plenty of time before our 6:30 show in the same building, right? Wrong!!! We were never served our meals. We ordered promptly at 5:00, but finally canceled our orders at 6:20, as the show did not have reserved seats. The manager came by at 5:55 and asked how we were doing. Told him, “We have been waiting almost an hour for our food!” He left and never came back. Gave up at 6:20. At least two other couples were in the same situation-one had been there since 4:30! Oh, and no apology or explanation was given by anyone! I’d provide a rating for the food, but we never got any. And we won’t be back there again.

I do want to sincerely apologize as explained to John another visitor that day. I am very sorry we had a series of unfortunate events that evening. The primary one being our chefs were waiting for a truck delivery that did not arrive until after our Lobby opened that day. This was impossible to make up for as our chefs were waiting on items to prep for service, we were going to make an attempt to prep a la minute BUT To be fair to guests and chefs we had to make the tough decision to close the kitchen for the PM and begin prep for the next day. We are offering gift cards to guests whose dining reservations were impacted that day. We are actively seeking different distributors because of this.

We've been here a couple of times before, and really liked the experience and the food. This time, it was a little different. The food was good. Really enjoyed that, but it took forever. It felt like the service was a bit disconnected. Waited over a half an hour for what was really appetizers. But the main drag on this experience was the "entertainment." We came for the Barcelona Flamenco event, but it seemed like they had a local group of aficionados who were, I guess, just practicing or something. Nothing cohesive, just a bunch of people fluttering around with fans and castanets. Background music was blaringly loud and it was clear that the "dancers" were performing to their "own" rhythm, not that of the music. It became annoying very quickly. I'm a flamenco guitarist, and whatever that was, well, it wasn't flamenco. Not even close. Just loud, brash and disconnected. I don't like to be super-critical, but with events like this, you take your family for the overall experience, and this is a part of it. Just didn't work this time. Sorry. I'd absolutely go again, but next time, I'll call before to make sure that the pre-show entertainment is going to be what one would expect. If it isn't, I'll probably catch a bit somewhere else and make it just before the show. (By the way, the show started a half-hour late. Tickets stated 7:00PM, but it didn't start until 7:30PM. Wrote the organizer. They never responded. Figures...)

The venue is very pleasant. The food is pricey for what you get. The food temp was room temp - not hot. I had the shrimp linguini - had a charred taste. The burgers and fries (fries are extra) were very average. We tried what we were told was a large fresh hot cookie for $6 - no it was 2 small cookies not fresh and the pumpkin desert - almost tasteless with a tiny bit of whipped cream. The server never smiled. We had to ask for more water - she had no other tables. 2 burgers, a small serving of pasta, desert $120. I’d probably not recommend.
