    I went during the week day. There was only on server. He was very nice and accommodating, however he was also the bartender. The food was good and the pricing is fair.

    Nobody there to greet you or to even check in. The majority of the restaurant was closed. Do NOT let the pictures fool you. Waste of time!

    Very pretty place, nice wait staff but not an ounce seasoning on the food. Everything was bland.

    It wasn't open at this time even though I was allowed to book. Open hours need to reflect the actual.

    I went to the restaurant at my reservation time at 2:15pm and the restaurant was CLOSE! The restaurant is in the Hilton hotel so I went to the front desk of the hotel. They told me the restaurant does not open until 4pm and they do not take reservations. I showed the front desk person my confirmation from Ooen Table and she said that must be a mistake. Open Table, please talk to restaurant as I drove 10 miles to go to a restaurant that was closed.

    Went here for brunch at 11am, kitchen was down very limited menu. Bar was closed so no mimosas. Stood at the front for 5 mins before someone yelled from across the room to sit wherever. It was just bad. Would not recommend, would not come back.
