    The service was slow, and it seemed to take a while to get our main course. Our Bruschetta Bread was stale, but the main course was very good.

    We sat outside for Mother's Day brunch. The seats are picnic tables on the side of the building along 21st. The seating was odd, we went downstairs and told them we had a reservation and they took up upstairs to the outside and the "server" told us our table was "down there with the number 6 on the bottle" but did not walk us down. Then we were told to come back up to the table at the front corner of the building (corner of 21st and penn) to place our orders and pay. When the food is ready, they will bring it to us. We ordered brunch before the 2pm cut off but a cook came stomping out to our table and yelled at the woman helping us that brunch was over and the order should not have been placed. So we got new menus and ordered off that one which was fine. We had the sangria pitcher which had little to no alcohol in it. The food was not good either. We had the spinach dip and it looked like it has been sitting for a while before it came out cause the cheese had cooled and congealed. The spinach was a very weird color and it tasted bad. The meatballs were not bad but they seemed like they were from a bag of frozen ones. We also had the chicken sliders which were ok but had a weird after taste. The whole experience was very disorganized and chaotic. I would definitely not recommend this place or visit it again. Very disappointing in service and food.

    This was a first time visit, 6 people. We were seated in the back room which was cute and very private. Our waitress, Nicole, was new on the job, but was very attentive and personable, and was eager to find an answer for us if she did not have one. The food was very good and we had a great time! The wine was good and reasonably priced!

    This restaurant is a must. They truly crate a vibe and experience that will be memorable. I did the special nights during Valentines Day and Wednesday wine and dine to celebrate my birthday with some friends. We all enjoyed this place so much. Food is amazing!!! The wine served with each course was so perfect. The place is beautiful for picture taking and the price is beyond a great value. This will be the go to for future experiences as well.

    I have been to this place many times and never have a had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly and the food is great. It was unusually busy last night and there was a bit of a wait for the food and drinks but well worth it. The salmon is absolutely amazing.

    It took almost an hour to get a round of drinks. We decided to go somewhere else for dinner.

    our reso was 545 and we didn’t get drinks until 7, we sat over an hour before anyone asked us what we wanted, we stated we had a show at 8 and needed to be quick. at 715 our orders weren’t even taken, finally we place our order and it didn’t come out until 745 and two of the six of us didn’t even get our meals. we didn’t get 4 drinks we ordered either. somehow our bill was still 158 and had a tip, we were in such a rush to get to our show we paid and left but this won’t be let go. i will be calling tomorrow. we watched 5 different tables get up and leave while we were there because they didn’t get served. it’s a disgrace the way this place is ran and a total joke.
