   The restaurant is pretty, with outside views if you are fortunate enough to get one. It is a big square with high ceilings and is loud. There were two of us, and we were seated at a table that was a typical width but an unusual length making it difficult to talk over the background noise. I think it was meant to be fancy which leads to my real complaint of the night. If you like a restaurant that puts on airs and tries to be fancy, this is for you. There seems to be an attempt at being ritzy, but it just left us feeling uncomfortable. The waitress was efficient but seemed stressed as was the man who cleared our table. We have gone to expensive, high end restaurants many times over the years, but they rarely left us walking away feeling like we spent a lot of money for a mediocre night, at best. They need to work on making the customers feel appreciated.

   Our server Amanda was very friendly and accommodating. Our dinner on Christmas Eve was slow arriving from the kitchen, but fortunately there was a beautiful ambience to enjoy the evening with my man.

   The ambiance, lighting, and food were all very enjoyable. However, I was disappointed that our reservation, made over a week in advance and specifically requesting a table by the window, was not honored, and there was no explanation provided. After being seated, I approached the host to inquire about our request made through OpenTable. She informed me that the window tables were reserved for larger parties.

   Great ambience and the food was very good. A little noisy at times in the dining room. Staff were very attentive to their guests.

    I’ve been here before and loved my experience. This time, not so much. We had a 7:30 reservation and weren’t seated until 30+ minutes after our reservation time. It was extremely loud, no music or real enjoyable ambience. You could tell staff were frazzled, unprepared, and service was lacking. Food was okay but compared to past dining experience, would have expected better even with it being restaurant week. No apology for the long wait despite our reservation. Tables were crowded and in my opinion, too many people/tables squeezed into small area. Had to yell to speak to people at my table and it was hard not to overhear others’ convos due to such close proximity. Very overstimulating experience.
