First time we dined there was a couple of months ago. We made a reservation on Open Table ahead of time, and we were not seated at our table until an hour an 10 min after our reservation time. The food was good but not superb. We were very upset but decided to give another chance to this local restaurant. We came here again. The restaurant was completely full and about 15 people were crowding the tiny reception area. We waited for 5 minutes, and the hostess never even came up to us. We walked out and won’t be back.
