    We walked in without a reservation around 7:20pm, and were told that there would be a two-hour wait. The next table they had wasn’t available until 9:30pm. So naturally we left, and stood outside debating our next move. I check Open Table for any upcoming reservations for the restaurant and there’s availability at 7:45pm. 10 mins later the same young lady from earlier took us to our seats and we had a fabulous dinner. So, morale of the story…use Open Table (I guess).

    Gorgeous setting but the food was extremely disappointing. Service was very good. Wish that I could have more positives to say about the food. Shrimp overdone and risotto bland.

    La ubicación y ambientación es lo mejor. La comida es promedio pero el servicio es muy deficiente. Olvidaron mi platillo, trajeron en destiempo algunos otros platillos, el mesero fue descortés.
