As always service was lacking. The manager had to come and take care of us after we had been waiting nearly 10 minutes for even a drink order. The manager was very nice and accommodating. The waiter poked his head in to check on us twice after but we felt he didn’t do anything to deserve any special tip, which he would likely get as opposed to the manager. Food was very good but not worth the price tag.

They made it initially difficult to accommodate our party of 7 by giving us a small table that we would have had to cram around citing they couldn’t take tables from other servers. There wasn’t anyone else sitting outside and we made a reservation far in advance for a 40th bday. They eventually added an additional table after having to complain.

The indoor noise level was unbearable so we were able to switch to an outside table. We ordered a drink and waited. And waited. The waiter brought our food out, but we told him we had not had our beverages yet we were trying to have a relaxing dinner. The beverages finally came and the waiter brought the same food back out about 15 minutes later. Needless to say, it was not hot or fresh. we will not be returning.
