    We had a 5:30 reservation, but weren’t seared until 6:15. I believe they threw us at a table just to appease us, as we didn’t receive a greeting from a server until 6:35. We were told they were short staffed, causing the delay. The chef and server were friendly and the food was amazing as always. When it came time to check out (mind you- we had our kids with us and since our reservation was delayed by an hour, it was now nearing bedtime) our server was busy as he just received a large party (2 full tables). We knew we couldn’t wait 20+ minutes for him to get their drinks and orders, so we went to the front desk to request boxes and checks. The manager took care of this upon request, but a good manager would’ve been more hands on from the get go, knowing they were so “short staffed”. We have been coming here a couple times a year for a food 10+ years and this was our first poor experience. We will return, however may resort to a 4:30 reservation in hopes to be seated by 5:30.
