Went for Valentines day at 845pm and they had already "run out" of numerous items on the menu. I understand it's Valentines day but this is the first time I've ever experienced that. I feel they just were not prepared. The waiter was very clearly trying to upsell us throughout the night in a way that felt disingenuous. The ambiance was great though and there was live music which was too loud but that just kinda depends on where you sit and we were close.

Food needs to be vastly improved upon. I only returned for the 3rd time because a friend really wanted to go. The food is always cold and you are never satisfied.

I thought the service could be better, it took quite a while for the server to come to our table. But the food was served quickly.

The food and service were impeccable and we will definitely go back. Usually we stay away from restaurants in popular locations because they often don't deliver great food. Happily this is a cut above most places on the 3rd St Promenade and everything surprised us in the very best way. Anna, our server was a delight and every item we ordered was delicious.
