   The food and service were excellent. It is also a real treat to watch the chef prepare the food in front of us. I really appreciated the happy birthday wishes—-both the gift certificate and the singing of happy birthday for not just me but also two other people at our table.

    We waited for an hour to get a table after our reservation time. Apparently there was a middle school there from another state that was visiting the area. Every table was taken up with tween children. I have never been to a restaurant so loud before. By the time we got dinner, we were exhausted. My autistic son was having a meltdown and while the food was good, and the service was good, the situation was bad and we ended up taking Food home.  it would’ve been nice if we had known they had overbooked and that we would’ve had it to wait. We should’ve gone to another restaurant or changed our reservation for another night.
