Had a reservation at 8pm for over a month for Valentine's Day. When we arrived, they were clearly backed up and unprepared for the night. The hostess essentially talked people into leaving and told us that we had to wait 30-45 mins past our reservation time slot. We then got thrown into the outside section which the restaurant very clearly was not anticipating using. The lights were on, the tables and chairs weren't nice, and there was 1 waitress running around trying to catch up. After 20 minutes of not even being said "Hello" to at our table and the table next to us telling us that they waited 2 hours for their food, we decided to leave. Things happen and we are all human but that was a terrible experience and not how we wanted to spend our Valentines night. Also, side note, we drove 35 minutes there so it was even more of a let down. Live and you learn.

No I never knew what the importance of leaving a reservation was until I got to this place. I mean, there's really was no point because nobody that had one got seated at the time. It was supposed to tickets were lost hours went by before anything was served. Just disgusting, I'm disgusted. And this is really sad because this is normally a really nice place to go idont know what happened that night but im really suprised at what i saw that night

Completely unorganized and they were unapologetic about the terrible service and regard for the guests waiting for hours even with reservations. First time there and definitely won’t be returning.

The food was very good. The service was a little slow, but it was Christmas Eve so I expected that. Overall for a holiday dinner it was a nice experience and I would go back.
