    My partner and I had dinner here last night. I know Valentine’s Day can be hectic for restaurants, but it seemed like there was a lot of confusion. It took them a while to even get us water, and the food arrived almost an hour after we placed our order. The drinks were nice, but the food was just okay. I don’t think it was worth the price. I think we might have had a better experience if we had gone earlier in the day.

    Food was excellent and service great but restaurant is a little dated. They Sat us in an overflow room and there were no pics on wall or decorations, looked a little sad.

    The entire staff was amazing. We had reservations and as soon as we gave our names, it felt like we were being given the VIP treatment. Wait staff was incredible. One of the best dining experiences ever.

    I thought the wait for the table with reservations was rather long, but for the most part I would go back.

    Fantastic steak, but the service was weak. You ask for tap water, they bring Fiji. They bring steak, but don’t brings the steak knives. You tell them to bring them. They don’t hear you. You try a different waiter. No luck. Eventually, you get up, find a waiter, and tell them to bring the steak knives. You say you would like some of the remaining food to go, so the waiter throws the remaining food into a plastic container right at your table, under your nose, instead of taking the food elsewhere, and there transferring food to the the container. Etc, unfortunately, etc.
