   We had a wonderful evening as our waiters , Ricardo and Craig were attentive and provided outstanding service. The food was delicious and everyone ordered something different. Although my meal was delayed and a small mixup occurred, proper recognition and apologies made up for these incidents. Wonderful ambience and lots of character, a truly special place.

    We were very excited to try this restaurant as they had received amazing reviews. But our experience was nothing but sub par and poor. We arrived for a 5pm reservation which is when the restaurant opens so they were not very busy. When we arrived we were not given the option to check our coats in but the two other parties that arrived their coats were taken. My husband order a steak for medium rare. When he got the steak it was cooked rare and almost raw. When he brought it to the waiter’s attention the waiter agreed but never apologized. He replied with “ we will throw it back in the grill” which is not what we expected with a high end restaurant. They returned his dish but the steak was still cooked to rare. We brought it to attention to our waiter who again never apologized and brought over the lady manager to speak to us. She also never apologized and also made us feel stupid for stating the steak wasn’t cooked adequately but did offer and opportunity to get something else on the menu. Which wasn’t an option as they only had a two hour dine in limit and we were about and hour and 15 min in.. as well as I was almost done my meal and my husband would have had to eat his meal while I sat and waited. My husband politely rejected to order another meal. At this point we were done with their poor service and didn’t have faith the next dish was going to come out good. The manager did take the meal off our bill but again no apology or never said we will take the comp the meal. To be honest we would have been happy with an apology and would have been willing to give the restaurant a second try but due to the lack of customer service we will not return to the restaurant.
