The server was really really weird. Took three attempts before we understood what the “fish service” meant he was so circuitous and long winded. Never looked at me. Only spoke to my husband. Appetizers were good but the wagu beef dish tasted like beef stew.

Benjamin was the best waiter I’ve ever had. He went out of his way to accommodate us. I’d come back just to work with him again.

I just want to start by saying that maybe I had high expectations going into the dinner given previous reviews, but the service left much to be desired. The menu is a little confusing and I expected more of an explanation from our server which he eventually gave after multiple questions and requests for clarification. Both my husband and I ordered our food at the same time but my meal arrive 10 minutes before his. So we sat there for 10 minutes staring at each other and wondering if I should go ahead and eat or wait for him. He is a pescatarian and I ordered a beef dish so sharing was not much of an option. Also no one asked if my husband wanted another drink after he finished his (which he would 100% would have said yes to.) With that being said the food was really delicious. Great place if you are into seafood. Overall given the price point I expected much better service.
