Sat down waiter took our order 30 minutes later. Food was not out. Waiter never came by till we had a flag him down. He then proceeded to tell us that the kitchen was really busy, I explained 30 minutes to a long time which he said the food would be right out. 15 minutes later I talked to the owner she said they lost our ticket so obviously they didn’t get their story straight. She then said the food would be right out another 15 minutes later the food finally came out so we waited an hour for our food. The food was average at best, they did comp our meal, but it did not make up for the hour. We spent there and never once were empathetic about our situation.

The food is amazing, and I have a gluten intolerance which they accommodate for! They have many gluten free items on the menu. The owner is so nice as well! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat
