Overall, food was good drinks were great. However, i do wish staff checked in on us more they took our empty glasses and didn’t ask if we wanted another drink. We had to wait 10+ minutes for our server to walk by us so we could order another and dessert. Cute place but probably won’t go again due to the service

The food and drinks were excellent. My issue was being told twice before even entered the door that we would only have 1 hour there because they were fully booked. This puts a strange pressure on the evening to order, eat and drink very quickly, and creates an unwelcome attitude right from the start. We were there with friends for a nice evening out, that was very strange condition to put on us. We would have stayed longer and ordered many more drinks if they had allowed us.
