   Amazing flavors in food. Unique combinations. Small portions. Cod with black rice. Unusual shaved brossel sprouts salad. Light and flavorful limoncello cake. A delightful culinary experience.

   I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over eight years. I’ve celebrated milestones here. I’ve brought friends, family, and out-of-town guests. And while the food has always been excellent, I’ve long tolerated the rushed, pretentious service because I believed the experience, overall, was worth it. But after what happened on my birthday, I’m done. We were a party of four, seated promptly at 5 for what was meant to be a joyful, meaningful night. The staff knew it was a birthday celebration. We ordered generously—cocktails, appetizers, entrées, desserts—spending over $500. And yet, well before we’d finished, the message became crystal clear: we were being pushed out. Three of us were done eating and they cleared our plates before the fourth was even close to being done, and this was early on in the night. He was asked 3 more times if he was done eating, and I felt so uncomfortable with the way they were rushing him. The same rushing happened with dessert, and soon after water glasses were removed without asking. I had about 2 sips left of wine and at 6:50, our waitress informed us—without apology—that we had ten minutes to vacate the table. No grace. No acknowledgment of the occasion. Just an abrupt, transactional push out the door. The website says for a party of 4 there is a 2 hour time limit, so while I don't believe any restaurants should have any limits like this, we had not even hit their limit yet. We still had 10 minutes, and would have clearly finished in that time. We weren't in any way lingering, just finishing a last glass of wine. After eight years of loyalty, I walked out of the restaurant feeling rushed, dismissed, and frankly—embarrassed. That’s not how you treat regulars. That’s not how you treat anyone, especially on a birthday. There are countless restaurants in this area with great food. What separates the great ones is hospitality—something this place has clearly forgotten. We will not be back again.
