   Had to wait over an hour for our food. Dining room was so noisy we could barely hear and understand the waiter.

   We had a 7:15 reservation and didn’t get seated until 8:15 OUTSIDE. We had to wait another 10 minutes for an inside table, which is what I reserved via OpenTable. It took 20 minutes to get a drink at the bar while we waited. The hostesses were terrible - not sorry, not accommodating, not helpful. The bright spot was Kassie who kept checking on us and apologizing. And in the end, the (bar) manager was VERY nice and comped some of our meal. Food was too salty and very poorly timed. Appreciate how charming the place looks but not worth the money.

   We went to Geist for our three year anniversary. We arrived early for our reservation and they sat us right away. Our server was very informative and helpful in choosing a starter, we chose the charcuterie board. I got the lamb and my SO got the beef filet. The couscous and labneh with the lamb loin was fantastic, the cook on the lamb was perfect! My husband enjoyed the cheesy whipped potatoes very much, and the bordelaise sauce was perfectly seasoned. Our server suggested the blackberry caramel tart for dessert, and as someone who is not a caramel fan, I would eat 6 of those! Overall, best meal I’ve had in over a year, outstanding service, and beautiful ambience and setting.

   We had an absolutely phenomenal dinner experience here. The ambience with live music was lovely, the service was excellent, and the food/drinks were so delicious. Their parking lot is free. Great value for your money, will definitely be returning!

   We had a 7:00 reservation and arrived on time. We were told our table was finishing up and would be seated shortly. I ho back at 7:15 and was told they have paid but still sitting there. The issue with this is the reservation CLEARLY states there is a time limit on tables and they should politely have told the table this. At 7:21 I get a text text the table is ready. She states they were still at the table so putting us on the garden. While beautiful it was VERY COLD and were crammed into a corner. Our food while very good did not arrive until around 9:15 or so. That is ridiculous to take that long and for us to fit in the cold waiting for it. Our server never acknowledged or apologized for the long wait. She kept saying your food is coming right out but we waited and waited and waited. We paid for parking and that even ran out it took so long. When you require credit card for a reservation and you clearly state the time limits on a table you should treat your customers who do make the reservation and follow your rules better and actually endorse said rules.

   Great food- creative but not weird in the way some restaurants can be. Beautiful Christmas decorations. We went in January just to see them but avoid the holiday crush.
