    The hostess that seated us was not pleased at all and definitely showed it when we asked for another table as she was seating our group. We asked to sit in a corner table rather than a table by the swinging kitchen doors. Very few people there so there were lots of open tables. We settled at a nice table, but were not given any menus. We had not seen the waitress and after 15 minutes , I had to get up to get menus from the hostess. Waitress was nice enough, took our orders and that was the last we saw of her until she brought the check. Very disappointing compared to the past great service we have experienced.

    When I made the reservation a few days ahead I asked for a table in the main room in an alcove. When we got there the host said all the alcove tables were taken. I was very disappointed and will not return soon. Don’t ask if you have a special request if you are not honoring it.

    Hi, Lee We're really sorry to hear about your experience with the alcove tables mishap. We understand how important it is to accommodate all special requests, and we apologize for any disappointment this may have caused. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future.
