    We came in to celebrate our mother's birthday over the weekend and the restaurant was beautiful and the desserts were amazing, but the service was not great at all. we had to wait a long time to have our order taken (the restaurant wasn't busy) and when we were done, we asked for a takeout container which they brough back but then we continued to wait for the bill for a very long time at which I had to ask for then to come back over so we could get the bill. they also didn't check to see how we were doing until we were almost done. But the restaurant and food are amazing, and we will be back again to try more of the menu. just wasn't happy with the service.
