    The restaurant was empty but the food took over an hour to come out. When it did come out, it was cold. Drinks were good and apps decent.

    We ordered three apps and one drink. The drink was unexpectedly an unnatural green color. Only One of the apps was edible. Service for all took forever. Had to get manager to get check. Won’t be back.

    Appetizers were great. Entrees just okay for the price. Service wasn’t great. Plan on a $20 valet fee after validation.

    The food was good. Portions to small for price. Vegetable undercooked and they found the smallest potato possible. Waitress forgot things and it took a very long time to receive the food and we had to ask for it. Then it came right away which makes me think it sat in the kitchen or under a heat lamp. It’s too bad because this was not only our News Years eve dinner but also our 26th wedding anniversary and they knew that, but clearly did not care or even acknowledge it.
