    We eventually had an amazing time but we had to ask for a different server as soon as we sat down because the one who was waiting on us was so obnoxiously rude. It was a birthday celebration surprise and one of us was emailing a video to our birthday girls husband and the waiter got annoyed - banged the glass for everyone’s attention and because my friend didn’t put her phone down he just walked away and didn’t take our order. It was seriously one of the rudest things I had ever seen. So we asked for a different server. The bartender waited on us and she was amazing. Food outstanding. Appetizers especially were all delicious. Steak tartar was my favorite.
