Food was more convoluted than described. Very noisy with one guy belting out songs, badly. Good service.

why allow me to make a reso at 11 for breakfast if your breakfast menu isn’t available at 11? I came for the breakfast menu, not lunch. Extremely disappointed. The food was good but it wasn’t what I wanted. The service was excellent, but again, I came for breakfast not lunch…with one vegetarian/pescatarian breakfast option. That’s the first and last time I come in.

We booked a reservation for Mother’s Day brunch, but when we arrived we were told they no longer “offer that menu”. We had to eat off of their steak dinner menu instead. I was one of many frustrated patrons. Server was great though; wasn’t his fault.

Probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. They lost reservation even though I provided proof with the open table reservation. We were sat away from in another area away from other guests and staff forgot about us. We did not have a waiter for the first 20 minutes. Coffee arrived after another 20 minutes. We ordered food eventually but it was never actually served. We waited approximately 90 minutes from the time we entered and only served coffee and water. Manager arrived and apologized but did not rectify the situation. We were actually never served our food and after waiting another 10 minutes we decided to leave the restaurant.
