オーダーしてから、40分も待たされました。予約したことの意味。サラダとドリンクだけ先に出てきたのはよかったけど、あいだがあいたためにお腹が落ち着いてしまい、美味しく食べれなかった。

Chef was amazing. Managers were useless. Had reservation at 7:00PM didn’t see our chef till 8:30. Poorly managed and operated. Service is slow but the servers hustle. Good place if you want to spend a lot of time at dinner.
