    The food and bartender are great, the sommelier was great. The woman seating people (who appeared to be the manager) was HORRIBLE. She refused to seat us at first and said we had to sit at the bar despite having a reservation and having plenty of open seats. From our vantage point at the bar, we then witnessed her berate multiple staff, both in the kitchen and at the bar. She continued to sit others despite them not having a reservation as well. This was our second time at the restaurant, and this has been her behavior both times. We will not return to that hostile environment. Your staff deserve better.

    Absolutely delicious food, gorgeous plating, and impeccable service. Everyone we met was incredibly nice, welcoming, and attentive and made my birthday dinner perfect. I was incredibly impressed by our server's knowledge and explanation of our dishes as well. We will be back!

    Kitchen seems to have declined a bit. The food is good but the menu is a bit strange and the dessert menu is unappealing. But the ambiance is appealing and the service is very, very good.
