   Absolutely a beautiful place to dine. The Wait staff lacked basic training, the food had a nice presentation but lacked taste and just wasn't very good. But they have parking, our table was ready on time and it was a nice evening.

   Incredible experience! John provided us excellent service (so good!!) and the recommendations provided were spot on. We sat in the champagne garden (the road noise was louder than I would’ve thought) but it was so pleasant to be outside and not have to yell over noise. The food was just divine and were big portions. The bread was incredible. They were great about my food allergies. Didn’t feel like we were rushed - truly got to enjoy the meal together. Will be back!

   Our server Haley, was fantastic. The kitchen, however rushed our main course within minutes of getting our salad as a result of getting ahead of a larger party but that was never communicated to the front of the house. (We would have waited) The manager did make some accommodations. To be fair the food: burrata, risotto, chicken, were delicious.

   Small but interesting menu. We enjoyed the attentive, but not invasive service. Some of the details slipped by (e.g., I requested salmon rare, it was medium, the humongous pile of Parmesan on the salad). Solid recommendation.

   Cute atmosphere. Service was ok, food was very good, what they had of it. Although our reservation was later, around 7:45, we were faced with a barrage of 'we are out of that', 'bad batch of asparagus', 'no potatoes'....on and on. Really disappointing. We were rushed, mid way through our meal, we were asked if anyone was going to have dessert because some of the staff were going home - kind of unprofessional. And again, 2 things we chose 'we are out of those'. Great sparkler display when we ordered a bottle of champagne, which they did actually have.

   I’ve never been to a restaurant where I could not order appetizers until everyone was ready to order their main dish. Disappointing as we were all hungry and wanting something to nibble on fast.

   We went for Mother’s Day dinner with our two kids. It was amazing. Everything from appetizers to entrees to dessert was perfect and delicious. The place itself was magical and the cocktails even the Shirley temple for kids was superb. Our server was patient and kind and gave great recommendations.

   Service was slow, 15 minutes to get a coke. Food is overpriced and no substitutions were allowed. Can usually make substitutions. I like their steak but their green beans are trash and I like to get the potatoes instead. Not allowed this time. Restaurant wasn’t that busy. Numerous open table upon arrival. Asked not to be sat next to walkway to restrooms as we have in past and it’s busy with people walking by all the time. Hostesses scoffed and acted put out as that’s where she was going to sit us. For a meal that cost well over $300 with four people with no alcohol I expected much better on Mother’s Day from a restaurant that acts like it wants to be upscale.

    It was absolutely delicious and our server Paine was personable and paid such attention to detail as I had a few allergies that he made sure I was ok. He went over and above!!! Having brunch w my daughter at Geist was the best day ever!!!
