    The food was good as always but the waitress was not great. This was the first time I had less than expected service. Disappointing.

    My daughter wanted to go here for her 21st bday dinner. It was crowded for a Tuesday evening and fairly loud. Our server was very good, though I could tell she was running around a lot to help all the tables. My husband and I got a alcoholic cider and my daughter got a shirley temple, WHY is lemonade $9??!?!?!? A beer or cider is less then a soft drink??? Sorry but way too pricey. Entrees were good, but overpriced. I understand food is more expensive, but $25 for a bowl of pasta that doesn't even have meat or a $20 individual pizza? our check was over $112 with three entrees, no meat, 1 dip appetizer and 2 ciders and a shirly temple. Our server was very gracious and very sweet, that is what we enjoyed best

    Our server Shabani (not sure if the spelling is correct) was great! We were celebrating a birthday and she truly made it very special! She was very attentive, joyful, and brought us a warm cookie with a candle to celebrate with. The food was excellent. Our whole family really enjoyed the dinner.

    Food was truly not good - entrees were both bland. Server was nice but clearly overworked. Cookie handler blew his nose in close proximity to the open cookie display. Virgin lemonade was nearly $10! Yikes. Just never going back.

    Decor is very appealing, host was friendly and engaging. Server was fine. We didn't realize that the cube on the table was the QR code to pay the bill, so our departure was delayed as we waited to get server's attention to bring the bill. The QR code bill cube should be explained with each guest. Overall, it was a great experience.

    We had a 7:30 reservation for a group of 6 on a Saturday night. After being required to put a credit card down for the reservation I expected to have reasonable time frame for seating. We were not seated until 8:10pm - having to stand in the crowded waiting area for 40 minutes. There was no apology for the wait time, nor commitment to a time our table would be available - defeating the purpose of a reservation. When we were seated, it was right infront of the kitchen which was loud and bustling with people coming in and out. Further, we were constantly being pressed about clearing plates. The food was good and the decoration is nice, but given the pricing and caliber of the venue, I expected a better experience.
