    The food was absolutely delicious. Shared many different plates with friends including the roasted carrots (to die for), the beets, the tomato burrata ( warmed and so much flavor), the cabbage, the ahi tuna, the chicken, the steak and the scallops. Finished with sharing a piece of coconut cake and the butterscotch pudding. All amazing!

    Food was pretty good. Customer service and organization of the restaurant lacking. We waited for 10 minutes at the entrance and no one came to check us in for our reservation. We were clearly visible to the bartender and what appeared to be a male manager. We had to stop by the bar and the bartender sat us at a reserved booth. Once we sat we waited 15 minutes for someone to come, only for her to approach us and say “this is for a reservation”. Which we then replied we had one and we were told to sit there. It appeared we were seated at the wrong table, which is really not the customer’s problem. Our server’s approach was overall not friendly and only checked in with us once after the food came, didn’t ask us if we wanted more to drink. We will probably try again since the food was good and the bowling was fun.
