   The food was great & our server was nice, but the management completely ruined the experience. I went with 4 friends to dinner and literally 2-3 minutes after paying our bill, the manager came over to tell us there was another reservation for that table. We told him we would finish our drinks and head out. Then, another man came over and told us the same thing. The first man, Nate then comes over for a second time.. mind you this was all in a span of like 15 minutes. This time, Nate was incredibly rude. He told us to leave and when one of the girls asked his name he put his hand across the table to “shake hands” in a completely condescending manner. I understand that there are reservation time limits, but 3 of my friends still had half full drinks.. you should allow reasonable time to finish them. It’s not like anyone wants to chug a martini. Typically, a manager is supposed to make sure that the restaurant guest are having a good experience, but this guy took our positive experience and ruined it.

   Ambiance was nice and we were close to the open air area. Service was poor throughout the evening. We ordered salads and entrees came right after getting the salads. Entrees were initially lukewarm, but definitely cold by the time we ate them. I feel the restaurant could easily improve in the areas mentioned and it would be a much better experience.

   We all enjoyed our drinks and meals. Only complaint was the noise level and the amount of food in my pasta dish which was a quite sparse for the price.

   Decor was nice, music was very high volume. I was surprised they do not offer a corkage fee-I like bringing my own wine. Service was a bit slow, but the food was good. Lamb shank very good and the fungi pizza

   Was suggested by my friends daughter and was not expecting this amazing meal! Not only was it delish, the portions are huge and enough for lunch the next day. Try the tzatziki app, meatball, and the pork cutlet was to die for!

    Creative and flavorful menu. Always something exciting. Great cocktails. Callie was attentive, kind, and engaging in our interactions throughout the evening. Where to find a winning combination of quality food, drinks, and service in a great environment.
