    We were there to celebrate Mother’s Day The service was not very great The starter was good but the main was below normal - I would rate OEB and broken yolk for egg bene over theirs The dessert pineapple ravioli was good but the tiramisu was very sweet

    We went there for our anniversary the other night and we had heard such great things from so many people so we were super excited to spend our time there. We had our reservation at 10:00pm which is a little late but unfortunately that’s all we could do for that day. There was alot of construction so we did come in a lil late but we called ahead and they said no worries. We knew it was late but we figured that if closing time was at 12:00am we wouldn’t be as inconvenient. We also looked at the menu prior to help things move along. We got seated by one staff member who was very nice and then we met our waiter who right off the bat was giving off a rushed vibe and said “hello what do you want?” We were kinda taken aback by how snappy he wanted us to be considering we literally just sat down. Uncomfortably we said we needed a couple minutes and he scoffed away and said the kitchen closes in 5 minutes and we were shocked because we didn’t realize last call was so soon considering you’re allowed to book reservations for even later times than what ours was. My partner goes to the bartender who sat us and asks when last call was and he said “don’t worry about it order whatever you want” so we didn’t really know what the issue was. We ordered two things cuz we already felt uncomfortable to be in a space that clearly was annoyed at our presence. I asked for what kind of soda drinks do they have, the waiter was like “what do you want?” Once again very annoyed at us. We clarified with our waiter when last call is and he said “the kitchen closes in 5 mins, we held the kitchen open for you guys later so we just want to hurry things up now” and I was really uncomfortable we didn’t realize we were causing such anger for wanting to have a nice dinner. We quickly ate our food and left cuz we didn’t wanna be so rude trying to celebrate our anniversary. Honestly this truly ruined my night because we had such high hopes and expectations. Will not be coming back

    we came in for a friend’s “funeral of youth” (don’t ask), and left feeling like absolute superstars. our server — whose name i tragically forgot — was a slay queen of the highest order. charming, attentive, hilarious, and honestly deserves a raise immediately. the food? unreal. every dish was a hit. this place made our dramatic little event feel like a red carpet affair. 11/10, would host another quarter-life crisis here.

    Went for dinner and arrived for Happy Hour. For and drinks were excellent. Great service. Atrium door were open so the noise level with traffic was a little loud.

    Our waiter (sorry missed his name,) was absolutely amazing. He was engaging but not overboard. Very genuine. The cheese fondue was amazing and I can't even tell you how great the chocolate fondue was! We will be back

    Unfortunately, our chicken was quite pink and undercooked. We mentioned it respectfully, but were surprised to see that nothing came off our bill even though the one dish was hardly touched at all. Overall, an expensive outing for the food quality today.
