   The service was very slow, even though the restaurant was not particularly busy. Additionally, the music was louder than appropriate for a family brunch. We were pleased with the quality of the food and drinks, but the prices seemed high. I was surprised to see a $13 upcharge for adding chicken to my son's Caesar salad. I was also charged an extra $5 per drink for switching from tequila to mezcal, and I was not informed of this upcharge beforehand.

   Service was top notch, from entering, chilling at the bar and seating at table, Zoey and beverage waiter was phenomenal, I’ll definitely be back.

   I had the best dining experience! The ambience was amazing. The professionalism was superb. I remember a guy named Jordan that took care of everything and made the dining experience unforgettable.

   It was very loud in the restaurant. EDM music. Very very hard to hear the servers talking to you unless you are right next to them. It was hard to hear each other! Even the manager came by trying to talk to us. She was nice, but we could barely hear her. She acknowledged that the music was loud. All the servers were very nice. Overall It was a nice establishment, but more of a younger vibe feel. We were all in our 50’s. It would be a tad bit more enjoyable if the music wasn’t so loud. Also the portions were small for the price we paid.

   hostess seated us close to another couple when there was plenty of empty seats. No privacy and this was during brunch on a saturday. It was not crowded at all. Waiter was super slow with attending to us

   Overall, we had a great experience to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The service was amazing. Our waitress came and checked on us every so often to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was really good and I enjoyed the side dishes. I expected a little bit more from the Bronzino, but overall it was good as well. The drinks were really good and had a nice flair to them overall we had a great experience with great ambience and I wouldn’t mind visiting again.

   Worst service ever. Very pushy for expensive dishes and to order quickly we could enjoy the way we want it. With plenty of table available they’re not in need for our. Too loud. Difficult to have a conversation. Extremely expensive but food and drinks are good. But the overall experience wasn’t that great.
