    Very bad service, burned food, and manager didn’t even come out to apologize and say anything. Alot of money for a food that is not worth it. Never going there again

    Went on a Sunday for brunch. Everything was great except for our waitress. Didn’t mind waiting for our food but could’ve checked on us for a coffee refill. I ordered a mocktail and never got it and was going to be charged for it but I asked before swiping my card. I truly hate the pressure of paying while the waitress holds the machine. I accidentally tipped more the 15% I normally do. Will come back in the future but I hope I have a better experience with wait service

    Our server - I want to say Aaron? - was simply amazing. He was so personable and made our meal so extravagant. The food was amazing!! The views of the city was beautiful. Even the music, which could sometimes be overwhelming and loud - was so good. We are already talking about coming back for the bottomless mimosas!

    Fabulous, i’ll be back very soon. We had the ribeye, grilled oysters, and calamari. If they offered us bread we may have been even happier honestly.

    Very disappointed. Haven't been here for quite a while. Remodeled about 3 years ago and the cozy atmosphere is gone. The restaurant use to have prime rib and that is no longer on the menu. Menu limited. The salmon I ordered was very salty, but ate half by the time I realize the all the salt was on the back side of salmon. Waitress was slow in getting back to us. We asked another waiter for a dessert menu and she said she couldn't give us one because your original waiter had to do that. Meanwhile, we're sitting there wondering where our waiter was??? Afterwards, we decided not to get dessert . . . who knows how long it would take? Very disappointed!

    15 min to seat despite having a reservation. Out of food and server blamed it on a busy weekend (translation- poor management and ordering enough supplies ….. how do you run out of guacamole?) appetizers came before drinks and we had no alcoholic beverages. Chicken was super dry, almost powdery tasting. Skewers and empanadas were delicious and we were told dessert was on the house so we ordered then it was added to the bill and instead the server brought out some chocolate covered butterscotch. Overall horrible experience. Waiter was terrible.
