Made a reservation almost 2 months ago for my wife’s birthday. We showed up at 5:45 for a 6:00 reservation and they were closed. Their website showed they should be open, but not a soul in sight. Very disappointing, especially to have to make last minute changes to what was supposed to be a surprise birthday dinner. We will not be attempting to return here.

Restaurant is closed down for good. Owners did not take the time to tell Google or or any app that is advertising that the restaurant is no longer in business.

We had an 11:30 reservation. The restaurant didn’t bother to let us know (despite confirming) that they didn’t open until noon.

The entire staff was on strike in the backyard when we arrived for our anniversary reservation. Restaurant was locked. Other couples were there as well in same issue. Owner isn’t paying employees. Sad

I want to love this place so much, but my experiences have been so inconsistent. Last night we were the only guests when we arrived. Once we were seated we found out that they’re no longer serving alcohol - we had come for an appetizer and glass of wine, and it wasn’t published on their Instagram or website (both of which still have their happy hour deals on drinks) that they’ve made this change. We still ordered an app, and despite there only be two other tables when we finished, it took about 20 minutes for them to run our card. I love their ambiance and mission, but I think they still have some things to work through.

It was such a fun dining experience! We went for a birthday & were offered the private room upstairs. It was a unique space that felt very homey (in a good way!) and the food was delicious. We got the whipped feta for an appetizer & it fed 5 people very well. Our favorites of the night were the lamb bolognese and the beef short ribs. Both dishes were flavorful with really healthy size portions. The waitress was very kind and brought out a cake for the birthday with a candle and the dessert was so so good! It was the strawberry chantilly crème cake, very very tasty!!

Service was extremely slow. Server took our order went away for a half hour, came back and tried to take the order again. She brought the wrong bottle of wine and then brought the bottle we wanted but it was already open (weird). She has clearly forgotten to put the order in. Two hours in we gave up the idea of dessert and asked for our check.
