   Food was good and service was nice. However, there was a toddler running around the patio seating area, talking loudly the entire time that was disruptive. It’s always so disappointing when the parents are doing nothing about it. Not really the restaurant’s fault and they did seat them away from us, but totally ruined the experience for us.

   Fantastic. Wish we weren’t on vacation and it was closer to home — we’d be regulars.

   It was clear from the time we entered the restaurant that the number of guests was significantly higher than usual. Tables had been added compared to a usual Friday night. It was Valentine’s evening. There were insufficient staff.. Management had overestimated their capacity. We witnessed one couple leave after about 15 minutes due to lack of service. The food was good and we prefer a wait between courses so we enjoyed our evening. However the delays became longer as the restaurant became busier.

   Appetizers served at different time. Last appetizer arriving after all other guests had finished theirs. Unclear explanation on liquor availability. Instead of explaining license status, response was “not available”. We finally figured it out. Warm wine and inadequate cooling adjustment. Inaccurate bill. Paper bill $215. Portable device bill $322 Neither was correct. $277 was correct bill after we pointed out that $215 bill was missing 1 bottle of wine and something else. Food was very good but well overshadowed by service issues. First time customers. Not sure we will return or recommend.

   Delicious food and great service! I come here often because parking is usually plentiful in the nearby shopping area and the vibes are good. The servers are always fantastic and friendly.

    We arrived at the time of our reservarion and the place was empty. We had to wait around 15 minutes to be seated and 10 minutes more to get the menus and water. After another 20 minutes waiting we decided to leave the place.
