    We had a 7:00 reservation and arrived on time. We were told our table was finishing up and would be seated shortly. I ho back at 7:15 and was told they have paid but still sitting there. The issue with this is the reservation CLEARLY states there is a time limit on tables and they should politely have told the table this. At 7:21 I get a text text the table is ready. She states they were still at the table so putting us on the garden. While beautiful it was VERY COLD and were crammed into a corner. Our food while very good did not arrive until around 9:15 or so. That is ridiculous to take that long and for us to fit in the cold waiting for it. Our server never acknowledged or apologized for the long wait. She kept saying your food is coming right out but we waited and waited and waited. We paid for parking and that even ran out it took so long. When you require credit card for a reservation and you clearly state the time limits on a table you should treat your customers who do make the reservation and follow your rules better and actually endorse said rules.

    Great food- creative but not weird in the way some restaurants can be. Beautiful Christmas decorations. We went in January just to see them but avoid the holiday crush.

    January work dinner for 6 last minute. Place was half empty. Great for us. Service was perfect. Food was solid. Ambiance was lively (music, not people). I don't know if I'd go when it's busy because it looks like it would get mobbed by tourists. Outdoor champagne patio? Come on!? But in January on a weekday? All day long! Do it!

    We went for a birthday celebration & the dessert they brought with a big-time sparkler was the cherry on top! The food was delicious - steak and Boursin cheese mashed potatoes make me want to go back soon! Great service, too!
