   Overall, this was a good experience! The ambiance was nice for a special occasion, but be mindful of what seems like a secondary, overflow room, which is where we were seated. For my wife’s birthday, we requested a table near the fireplace, but our request was not honored. Our server provided excellent service, but other staff members were not as friendly. I had requested a special dessert ahead of time to celebrate my wife’s birthday, but this request was also not honored. Instead, the server simply brought us the dessert menu. Seems like a breakdown in communication. The area was cold, as they were struggling with empty gas tanks. The cocktails were good, but their presentation was underwhelming. The food was good, and the total cost came to almost $300 for two people. The most frustrating part of our experience was the rush to place our order. For a special occasion, you want to enjoy, savor, and relax. We placed our appetizer order, and the server, though somewhat pushy, advised us that the kitchen was busy and suggested we order everything at once. He assured us he would time it so that the food didn’t all come out together. However, as I feared, just five minutes after receiving our appetizers, our entrées arrived. By the time I finished my appetizer, my entrée was already cold. Courses should be properly spaced to allow guests to enjoy each dish at the right temperature and without feeling rushed. If the restaurant was genuinely concerned about kitchen delays, they should have communicated better and given us the option to wait, rather than pushing everything out at once. This is a very cute place with potential, but there are opportunities to fine-tune the service. They could improve cocktail presentation beyond just an orange peel, be more attentive to special requests, and ensure that a $300 dinner for two comes with either the special requests or at least alternative offerings.

   It was good for the exception of a mixup with our server that left our party feeling a little weird. However, after that it was smooth sailing. The new server was fantastic and the ambience was amazing. Just as a tip - if a person in a party steps outside to take care of something, the host/hostess or waiter/waitress should not chase after them and ask, “Are you coming back?!” The answer to that question should obviously be yes. I made reservations on OpenTable - why would I walk out after ordering and not come back? What does that type of presumption say about me and my guest who is sitting back at the table? I have more questions than answers from the experience.

   Usually I always have a a great time there but this time our waiter couldn’t get the order right. Brought the wrong salad 3 times in a row. I thought it was skit at that point. We were Told we’re gonna get complementary items, then ended up having to pay for them. Yea that was really bad. I’m not coming back.
