Service was very unprofessional. The busser came to our table with a tray and made us put our empty plates on the tray. They had a person filling the glasses of water and she probably came to our table over 10 times. The last few times she came over it was kind of just like no get out of here because it was almost annoying how much they would ask to fill our water glasses. I understand that person is doing their job but the manager should assign them something other than that because it was way to frequent. Some of the servers were very unprofessional by the way they spoke as if they didn’t know the menu.

If it’s a game day weekend be kind to the staff if you are a walk in. We had reservations and witnessed the horrible treatment of staff by hotel guests expecting a table as a walk in.

Thank you for the kind words Kim. We work hard to ensure all guests are taken care of equally and we do appreciate the empathy you've expressed for our hostess. We look forward to having you back with us again soon!

We had a reaction to a miss in a shellfish allergy. We had to leave. We only had waters and app. Still charged for cocktails - which weren’t made and entrees. Talked to a manager and we were supposed to have check refunded on June 11th. No refund and no call back. Do not recommend!

Apps were pretty good, however, main course was poor! “Filet” was basically pot roast and the mashed potatoes were from a box…no taste. I’d go for tapas and cocktails but never for dinner…save yourself the money and disappointment!

Bravo! My husband and I came here for a date night, and everything was spectacular! Excellent service and delicious food! We had Brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and salmon as main course. All excellent! Gary is a great server. We will definitely be back! 💯
