    Served warm Sancerre, and when notified we were told that the establishment was aware as they had the same complaint from another party. No remedy was offered. The place was noisy, over crowded, and the staff was reasonably overwhelmed and hosts and hostesses were not cordial. For the price and service, we rather take the five extra minutes to cross over to Georgetown for quality service.

    I specifically ordered a well-done wagyu burger because I’m pregnant, but they gave me one with uncooked red meat. The place was so dimly lit that I couldn’t even see the meat properly, so I ended up eating half of it before realizing. I took the other half home in a to-go box, and that’s when I saw that the meat wasn’t cooked at all—it was red and raw! How could they be so careless and serve unsafe food to a pregnant woman?! This is beyond irresponsible!

    The cocktails were amazing. Food was very good but the service was a little rushed for this type of place.
