    Waited 50 mins for our table along with many other customers who also had long waits with their reservations. We had an 8pm reservation for 4 people and they did not seat us until 8:50pm. They did comp us 1 appetizer for the long wait. It also took a long time for the entrees to be served.

    Food was very good- Harvest salad, Branzino and Salmon. I hate those narrow, long 2 top tables. Every time my husband and I wanted to talk we had to bend in towards each other because we were far apart and the noise level was high. Go, but not on Saturday night.
