I’ve dined here twice. My experience was the same both times. I came once for lunch with a friend and the other was after work for a networking event. The food was good both times but there’s a disconnect somewhere. Management needs to work on the host learning to check people in and also with the waitress so that they are familiar with the menu items and how the food is prepared and its contents when taking orders. They hadn’t tried the menu items and couldn’t speak on its taste or ingredients. They weren’t even familiar with the wine list or cocktails. The waitress shouldn’t have to run to the kitchen each time a customer asks a question. Both times the staff didn’t seem prepared. Wait times were very long both times I visited. The staff are all very friendly but they are just as important as those working in the kitchen. There are people out here with serious food allergies and not knowing active ingredients in foods can be very dangerous. Also, nuts should not be given as a free appetizer and placed in every table. Water should not be placed on tables prior to the customer arriving.

I was unaware that the place only served SMALL BITES. I thought that I could order from a menu so I came with an appetite. I left hungry and had to go somewhere else to eat after spending. $40 per person and a tip. The drinks were pretty good. The ambience was excellent. Not sure if I would go back yet unless it was after dinner. I was a little disappointed since this was a Valentine’s Day dinner.
