    Food was great, drinks were good but I’ve never felt so rushed to get out of a restaurant. Our plates weren’t empty and they tried to take them, finally they brought the check without even asking if we wanted another drink or dessert.

    We have been here many many times but this was the first time since the remodel and I was very happy to see how beautiful everything turned out. Lots more room and a lighter brighter interior. The food was as always delicious. Service was good and hospitable. This is one of my all time favorite restaurants.

    The Hostess was very disrespectful and ruined the whole vibe of our dinner . We had a reservation at 9pm on 3/16 ,we showed up 8:50 and told the hostess our name and she checked us in then we waited about 25 min as other ppl that checked in after us were getting seated until we decided to ask the hostess how much longer , when we got up to ask we see her and another coworker see us and then smirking at eachother. I asked how much longer to the same hostess that checked us in earlier and she said oh im sorry looks like nobody checked you in when SHE WAS THE ONE THAT “checked us in” when we first got there so if we hadnt said anything who knows how much longer we wouldve been waiting .
