                                      We waited for over 2 hours and never got our entrees. Our server Murray did everything he could and was great. However we finally cancelled our order and walked out around 9:30pm after having reservations for 7:15 and never got our food. We had placed our order by 7:35.

                                      The worst dining experience I’ve ever had. We had a 630p reservation, was seated at 7, ordered within minutes but didn’t receive our food until after 9p and food was terrible/overpriced. Don’t go.

                                      Went for Thanksgiving dinner, arrived 10min early for reservation but waited 45min to be seated. Waitress was nice but overwhelmed forgetting to refill waters, either brought the wrong cocktails or forgot to bring them all together. Waited approx. 2 hours for our meals. We arrived at 5:05pm and left at 9:15pm, much too long for a dinner service.

                                      The food is excellent! However, we had reservations and we were late being seated and the food took forever. We were there 2 1/2 hours from the time we checked in. The manager was dismissive and unhelpful. I do not know if we will be back. Other tables were experiencing a similar problem. I feel sorry for the servers.

                                      Our server, Tyler, was so very helpful regarding food suggestions….which were beyond yummy. Our experience was very good….and Tyler’s personality made it a fun date night for us.
