We expected a larger crowd for the Valentine’s lunch hour, but perhaps people were waiting for the dinner hour. Service was excellent and the food was very good. Minor complaint was that the upholstery on the banquettes was worn and stained, and there were food splatters on the wall beside our table.

The experience was great. Our waitress was super awesome, food was good and the live music was a sweet touch. The only negative is that we sat at a table and their was some lady walking a round with an ipad came to our table twice to ask if we are having anything else. The feeling we got is she is trying to hurry us out to get the table.

Dining at this restaurant was somewhat disturbing and annoying The table and chairs were too high for people of a mature age. If I were a baby then being placed in a high chair would have been fine, but I am not. The waitress had to stack the plates and cutlery on the end of the table for the customers to distribute, because she couldn't really reach the table, Perhaps there should be a height requirement to work in the section of the restaurant with high tables, just a suggestion. If I wanted to serve myself I would have stayed home. We called earlier to make a reservation for a 6:30 p.m. -6:45 p.m. and was told they couldn't accommodate us. I went to look on line and was able to book the reservation. Seems to me there is a huge disconnect.
