Waiter was so high, place was empty, service was super slow. Totally empty and it too 90 min to get dinner. We left before the desert was even delivered because we were tired. We had an 8 pm reservation and left at 945 frustrated after their Valentines Day Fiasco

I took my girlfriend to dinner here on Valentines day. Marco was an extremely kind and attentive server. Great food. Outside was a wonderful ambiance at sunset. The prefixed holiday dinner was a good quantity and selections.

on the expensive side given the portion/quality of food. staff were nice. service was slow even though it didnt seem very busy. We werent staying at the hotel and needed parking validation (parking was $10/hr). For some reaosn they validated only 1.5 hrs of parking and we had to pay $5, which isn’t a lot but we just didnt get why they wouldnt cover the entire thing. Dont think we’ll be going back.

The only bad thing was that were seated outside under a trellis. A pigeon messed up on our table from overhead on a beam and then later I got splashed on my shirt by one sitting on a different beam So don't sit under that structure if you can help it.
