    Poor service at first. They could’ve just been under staffed that day. Had to get water from the bar myself.

    We took our out of town guests after Thanksgiving on Saturday. First they messed up our reservations and seated us inside even though I booked for outside. Then when we got seated, we sat there for 20 minutes and not one single person or server came to attend to us. My husband went to the bar to get a drink. We were so embarrassed in front of our guest and got up and left.

    Good afternoon Kiran, Thank you so much for bringing this up to our attention. Please, accept our apologies on not being able to accommodate your seating preference and your dissatisfaction with the speed of service. If you decide to give us another, try, please, ensure selecting "outdoor" vs "regular". If the outdoor option doesn't show, it means that all the tables are booked at the selected time, however if you select a different time, it should give you some outdoor availability.

    Our server was good and I liked the food. Spectacular view. I just wish we could have had a real table rather than a small coffee table.
