From the moment we got to the restaurant we were attended to quickly, our table was clean and set for 6, the number in our party. Unfortunately, I do not remember our waiters name but he was attentive, up beat, and made the experience that much better! The food was exactly as we all ordered, came out in an appropriate amount of time. One hiccup was a substitution was forgotten, but it was quickly brought to the table. The waiter heard us mention there was a birthday in the party and at the end of our dinner he returned to the table with a birthday dessert with a candle!

Our brunch selections lacked in flavor, certain ingredients that were part of the meal were left out and no bread available for a Mediterranean salad which needed pitas!! Our server was fine but overall the experience was not as good as it has been in the past.

Great place to eat after seeing a show at the DCU center. We had a reservation for nine but the show was running a little late. We called from the venue apologizing for not being on time for our reservation and they were more than accommodating. It just goes to show if you are courteous people will help you out.

We enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service. The cocktails were not very good. I'd stick to beer or wine next time.

Great place with delicious food and friendly wait staff. I sent a message when I booked the reservation telling them that it was my daughter's birthday, and they surprised us with a small cake after our dinner! Will definitely return.
