   Children running around the restaurant, pasta was bland. Appetizers were excellent. Waiter was amazing. Owner operators seemed ok with having their child run around during our meal. I chose this location for a one off dinner e my wife in a Sunday night and i won’t be returning. As someone who has young children myself, if I wanted that type of experience (for $22) I would’ve stayed at home and spent nothing.

   Such a lovely dining experience! Great menu options that are all delicious as well as an inventive cocktail list. The restaurant is extremely child friendly with a large changing area in the restroom and nice children’s menu beyond the typical choices most restaurants offer. Service was so on point; both Balien and Monica provided top notch hospitality without being too overbearing. Owner/manager Billy is evident that he’s passionate about the restaurant as he curates an upscale dining establishment. Every staff member made us feel so welcome including the bartender, hostess and valet. Recommend this restaurant A++++

   This relatively new restaurant has good ratings from others, and indeed, the food we had was very good. However, the service, while friendly, was not up to the standards for the prices they are charging, which are quite high. This is a management/training issue. It's not the fault of the wait and bussing staff. Without going into too much detail that may not be particularly helpful, the service was just disorganized and awkward. The staff all seemed to have little to no experience. Silverware and sharing plates were awkwardly placed or not brought without prompting. No one brought us menus or took orders after we were seated for nearly 15 minutes. We had to ask for help me than once. With pasta dish prices starting in the $30+ dollar range and increasing to $50 with protein added, and cocktail prices at $19, and with the high quality and creative food that was being served, this shortfall in service is a shame. With proper training of the staff by an experienced head waiter, this can and should be relatively easily corrected. The noise level is also high, and there's no clear fix to that with the amount of tables they have, so this will likely not be as high end as restaurant as it strives to be, but it can be a very good one. For now, it's too inconsistent to merit a return anytime soon. It was worth trying, though, and to repeat and end on a positive note, the food was worth the trip.

   Overall disappointing. No mention anywhere about special Valentines menu. $180 for what was given wasn’t worth it. Literally every minute a different person came over and asked us if we needed more water..(not an exaggeration). best part was the ambience of the place, that was nice..

   I was there with my son and my wife to celebrate Valentine’s Day, it took 45 minutes before anyone came to serve us with any water, it took another 45 minutes before any food was brought out to us, it overall took over two hours and we didn’t get our dessert, our son was getting tired and we had to leave, it took another 30 minutes to get the bill and our desserts packed to go. The food was mediocre at best, the price was not appropriate for the quality of food, and the service was unacceptable. We will not be returning.

   Staff was so attentive. Food was delicious and we ordered off of the restaurant week menu which was a great value. Atmosphere was fun and vibrant.

    The food was very good but was not hot enough. Our server was very attentive and helpful. It took a long time to get our appetizers. We were disappointed that there was no bread on the table. Again, the food was very tasty. The chocolate tree dessert was delicious.
