    The service and waiters were outstanding very attentive and helpful. They also were very patient explaining the various menu choices and accommodating additional guests that we failed to include in initial reservation. That said the restaurant was far too dark to read a menu or even see the person across the table or the food that they were trying to showcase . It just makes no sense to turn the lights out and think that is enhances the experience. Also more frustrating was the noise level not only bad acoustics but loud music. So the guests could not see the food or others nor speak to others without screaming, overall a miserable dining experience.

    Horrible service by managers, bad communication, we were expected to have a 10 person dinner in 2 hours. Do not recommend. Food was mediocre.

    The wait staff was fantastic, I gave the lower rating because the front door/host stand staff were underwhelming - unfriendly, not nice, not welcoming. In addition, It’s very cramped and you are sitting on top of people no matter where you sit. This made conversation difficult which ruined the experience. This is the 2nd time I’ve been to this restaurant but the first time was summer and we sat outside and there seemed to be more room.
