    Our waiter was exceptional and delivered a wonderful dining experience for lunch. We weren't rushed and had time to visit. Almost like the Europeans where dining is an event.

    The bartender was lovely. While at the bar, a waiter spilled an entire glass of water on us while flipping the lid of the fruit garnish box. Was very nonchalant about it as we stopped up water and still paid for our drinks. When sat for dinner, had to flag down a waiter that wasn't ours to order drinks since it had been 10 min of just sitting. Carbonara was SO salty that it was inedible...and I like salt!! Waiter was told and apologized, removed the plate and kept it on the bill. For desert, molten lava cake is not what you are expecting...not even slightly warm. Completely underwhelming in almost every regard, with the exception of the bartender and the atmosphere. Very disappointing that issues weren't addressed on site.
