Fantastic! Was recommended this place from a friend and they didn’t do us wrong! Our server, Preston, was so affable and generous. The food was amazing. The ambiance was fun and relaxed despite feeling upscale. Just marvellous really.

We made a 1030 reservation for dinner as we were attending a play. We received 2 reminder texts prior to our arrival to verify we were coming. Both well before 1030. I responded we were indeed still coming. We arrived at 1030 only to be told by the hostess that we must hurry as the kitchen closes at 1100. Once we sat down, it took our waitress 5 minutes to approach our table. She also told us that the kitchen would soon be closing & turned to leave. We called her back to order a couple of appetizers & she left without taking a drink order. After our appetizers arrived, she finally took our drink order & again reiterated that the kitchen would be closing. We felt like an inconvenience the entire time we were there. The service was completely indifferent bordering on rude. Why on earth would a nice restaurant take a 1030 reservation knowing they would rush their diners & give them a less than positive experience?

It was my first time there and was Brunch Time. Wait staff never came back to fill up water glasses or coffee. Although the food was good, the dishes has multiple chips on them displaying a cheap look to the meal. Once everyone was done eating waitress never asked if anyone wanted dessert or coffee. For the amount one pays, it definitely should have been better.

The staff was very friendly, and the food was tasty. Reservation was at 7:45 PM and didn't get seated until 8:40 PM. Ordered drinks (1 glass of wine and 2 cocktails) when we got seated at the table, and our food came before our drinks.
