Waiter pushing to many dishes on menu for two people. Could not finish meal. Drinks: Mint Cucumber cooler in a tall glass full of ice. I think when i poured it into an empty glass it amounted to 5 oz of a up graded lemonade for 12 dollars. The food was coming out fast and furious. Felt a bit rushed

Ordered a gin and tonic at the bar that came without lime or enough ice. Visually unappealing. Cocktails should look refreshing. Our server was incredibly nice. Food was good nothing memorable and perhaps it was colored by our experience. We were advised to order 3-4 dishes per person. There were 3 of us and we ordered 10 dishes. You do not need 3-4 dishes a person. It was way to much food for us AND it all came to the table around the same time. No spacing out. It was unappealing to have so much food sitting on the table and our hot dishes were getting cold. Wish we had ordered 3- 4 to start and then ordered as needed. So much food leftover. Our last bottle of wine was ordered with plenty of time to enjoy with the meal but it came when we were almost done eating. Unfortunately, we were on the restaurants schedule, they were not on ours.

Music was loud and they couldn't turn it down due to "corporate set it that way". Food was excellent but over priced. Wine list by the glass is limited. 20% gratuity included. Excellent service. Parked at the hotel valet for $18, card only.
