    Upon arrival, the hostess seated us in a quiet corner as we requested, introduced us to our server Deirdre, who was excellent, nice smile and welcoming attitude. We ordered beverages, appetizer, entrée, and dessert. When our entrée was served, we realized we had not been given our appetizer. Deirdre laughed and said she had forgotten to write it down and maybe we weren’t meant to have it. And we’re very pleased. Couple things of note the coffee was excellent, but they served it with milk and that half-and-half cream. With dessert, the whip cream was fake, this is also disappointing. Overall, a very good review portion sizes were very worthwhile, but like everything these days was more than we should’ve had to spend. It didn’t feel like a real upscale restaurant. Feels like it’s somebody trying to be upscale, but doesn’t realize the small things matter.

    We had several issues with our food coming out cold. Some of the items didn’t taste great either. Steaks were good as well as the Jambalaya. Onion soup was a disaster. Prime rib was a generous portion but just didn’t taste that great. Service was decent. I love their sister restaurant Ela’s a lot more. We’ve never had a bad meal there.

    Never been there and I thought the experience was excellent. Actually, a great space, good menu and wine list. Our friend didn’t like the salmon, but she asked for well done. Anyway, we go out quite a bit and my only surprise was that there weren’t that many people.

    Host was wonderful very personable. Waitress had a mug on when she approached the table. Appeared to be angry. She took our order which had some changes (omelets). One order came out completely wrong. Took awhile to “redo”.. we basically dined separately. Waitress was NOT very friendly.. seemed even more angry.. manager was apologetic and tried to make us comfortable. Mistakes are made and we understand that. Overall not a great experience. Atmosphere was nice.
