   This was our 2nd visit. We gave a 2nd chance. We went because the food was so good the first time. The first time we went, we were about 45 minutes into our evening when a manager asked if he could move our table to accommodate a larger table that came in. We had to get up with appetizers and cocktails on the table and move to the bar. With doing this, he said thank you so much, ladies we will buy one of your cocktails for you tonight. We appreciate this which we thought was fine. But at the end of the night we closed our bill no cocktails had been taken off the bill. And as soon as we paid the check, the manager came up to us and said let us buy you another cocktail, we didn’t say anything we were annoyed. We were asked to move and he didn’t follow up with what he said. We can pay for our own drinks. It’s just you made us move during our meal. It would’ve been nice to follow through. Anyway, cut to this past weekend we decided to try it again because the food is actually delicious. It was so loud in there we could barely hear each other speak. Our server couldn’t of cared less that we were sitting there. She walked by us at least three times in 20 minutes saying I’ll be right back to take her drink order. She never made eye contact with either one of us once the entire meal until I wanted to pay the bill. My friend gave a credit card I had cash sitting on the table. Her response to me was oh you’re killing me giving me cash. I have served tables before you don’t say that to someone who you’ve never even spoke to barely the entire meal. Then comes back with change for the hundred in all big bills, instead of just giving me change from the bill so I could leave a tip for her. And when she puts down that change says to me, I was able to scrounge up some change for you. Who says that? We probably won’t go back. The food is delicious, but the service twice was awful.

   Atmosphere was awesome and the food was absolutely outstanding. We were a group of 4 and we tried 4 different apps and 4 different mains. We loved everything we tried. We'll definitely be going back.

   Beautiful patio. Great cocktails and nice wine list. We shared a number of small plates - all delicious. We will go back.

   The cocktails were fun and interesting. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the scallops; creative, lots of flavor and visually beautiful. Nice wine selection, the rosé was fantastic. I believe it was one of the owners that called me that afternoon to let me know where I could park which was thoughtful. Our server was wonderful. She was engaging, personable and her timing was perfect. Best service we've had in a very long time. The hostess was also very friendly, genuine and checked in several times. Only critique are the TV's on the patio but that's just personal preference, next time we will sit inside. Overall a great experience, I would highly recommend this restaurant. I find many trendy restaurants have exchanged service for image; it was refreshing to feel that this staff is invested in the customer experience.
