    I was excited to come here for a date night however I felt like there lacked consistency in the food, the table next to us ordered the lamb lollipops and they had 4 on their plate however when we ordered ours, only 3 were on our plate so I’m a bit confused and disappointed in the lack of consistency of food portions. The espresso martini flight was great but wished it had some festive flavors like peppermint and gingerbread instead of them all essentially being the same just different liquor mixes, felt like a missed opportunity there. Overall had a great time and the mushroom truffle flatbread and drunken noodles were fantastic!

    Wildly expensive and absolutely not worth it. Ordered the fritto Misto and it was just frozen fish sticks and frozen calamari flash fried. That and two drinks was over 100$?! You’ve got to be kidding me. Save yourself the disappointment and go anywhere else and get your moneys worth.

    Our reservation was for 2:30 last call for the kitchen was at 3pm. I was not aware that the kitchen was closing so early. The waitress was very nice but to get our stuff out was very slow and our food was cold. Not sure if it was because the time we got there or not. Over all the place was cute and the drinks were festive.

    I was really excited to go to the Jingle Tavern! It had some cute decorations, but that's about where the joy stopped. Our server took a while to greet us (it was busy, that's fine), but it took 45 minutes for our drinks to get to the table. Our "brie tree" appetizer looked a bit childish (for $25 I have a certain picture of what that should be). The flavor was fine, but certainly not worth the price - it also didn't match the description found in the menu. Finally, our drinks arrived (our server comped them which was nice) and were not the best. Mine tasted like medicine, even though I had a detailed discussion with the server about the taste profile. Neither of us finished our drinks. We were hoping to order more food, but our server literally never came back. We had to track him down and, at that point, just decided to go home. I've worked in many restaurants, so I have a lot of grace and patience when it comes to a busy Saturday night, but we felt flat out ignored and were severely disappointed at the quality of food/drinks, given the price point. We left feeling like we wasted 2 hours of our night. We also noticed other people had "drink trees" which weren't on the menu, and if that was supposed to be a special, our server never mentioned it.
