   All of the meals we had were very good, and those were the short rib, the pork and the lamb. The lobster, fritters, tomato bisque, and onion soup were excellent. This is our second time there and both times the entry experience is extremely awkward. You announce your reservation and then they tell you to sit down, which is irritating. And then 20 seconds later they say your table is ready. It may or may not be ready, more confusion, what’s your name again? they need to smooth out this experience. We sat for 25 minutes before our drinks were brought to us. Each time we had a course of meal delivered, there was always cutlery missing, and we had to wait and chase it down. Our server, just like the first time, was very slow to accommodate us. It felt like we were rushed in our interactions with him. We had to ask for a dessert menu, not offered it nor where we offered coffee or tea. The lighting is bright for a dinner experience, but it’s fine. The food is great, I would just hope that they work on the guest experience more.

   We had a reservation for 7:15 PM outside and arrived a little early, fully prepared to wait. However, after more than 30 minutes, we were still without a table. While we were offered indoor seating, we specifically requested to sit outside—just not in the side patio where a large group of kids was running around, screaming, and playing football. When a table finally became available, that’s exactly where we were seated. To make matters worse, no server came to greet us or take our order. The host was beyond rude, clapping her hands at us and dismissively saying, “You’ll have a table when we have one, that’s all I can do.” At that point, we got up and left. We ended up having a fantastic experience just down the street, and as someone who lives here full-time, I can confidently say we won’t be back. Unprofessional service, a complete disregard for reservations, and an overall disappointing experience.
