   My wait time was very long although I had a reservation messed up on my end so that my fault but even while sitting at the table it was long periods where I wouldn’t see my server drinks from the machine were not good even so the food was delicious and the host in the front were very delighted to fix my mistake an help me to find a table

   I have to say I was looking forward to going and then completely let down. Server was not the worst ever but it was pretty bad. Drinks sat empty, even when we had reordered and we had to ask for things more than once. The place was about 75% empty and from what I could tell our server had 1 table. The turkey club was pretty good, 4 stars. However the burger was about the size of a McDonalds double cheeseburger. The patties were over done and tiny. I had to ask for mustard multiple times even though I ordered the burger with mustard. No one was especially friendly, but no one was rude. Everything was just underwhelming and everything was way over priced for what it was. Almost $30 for a bacon cheeseburger that was sad. Spent almost $200.00 for 2 people. Doubt I will ever go back.

   Me encantó la comida, el servicio, la variedad de platillo, hasta el Café y el postre delicioso. Pedimos steak and lobster, ravioli, New York prime, todo en su punto

   The server was very nice and polite and as attentive as she could be during a very busy night. We had a reservation yet we still were standing around waiting to be seated for a while (about 10 minutes). It was very loud but understandable because it was completely packed in there. The vibes were nice but the food was very lacking. It took 30 minutes to get our apps then 30 more minutes for the entrees to come. The apps were decent, but the entrees sucked. The 3 of us got the Salmon, Steak Frites and Steak Ravioli. The steak was not good on both plates, it was flavorless and crumbling usually a sign of improper storage or overcooking it. The salmon had a weird burnt smell and taste to it even though it was not actually burnt and my guest barely ate it due to this. The server and manager were very nice in regard to the situation with the Salmon and took it off the bill which was very courteous of them to do. They did offer to replace it with something else at first but we didn’t want to wait 30+ minutes for a replacement after already waiting for so long. Overall, this place had very friendly staff and trendy vibes, you can tell the staff is great at communicating with each other and watching the floor. Don’t expect the food to be that great and prepare to spend a while waiting for food to come out. I recommend sticking to apps and staying away from the heavy protein items! It seems more like a place to hangout and get drinks / small apps versus an actual sit down and eat a nice meal type vibe

   Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words about our server and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. We're thrilled to hear that the service was attentive despite the busy night. We’re really sorry to hear that your experience with the food didn’t meet expectations, and we completely understand your frustrations. It’s great to know that our team handled the situation with the salmon and took care of it promptly, though we recognize it didn’t make up for the longer-than-expected wait times and quality concerns. We hope you'll give us another chance to deliver a better dining experience next time, and we’ll take your advice to heart about focusing on lighter fare and small bites. Thanks again for your review!
