    Our server was great but the store was out of three basic items which was a huge disappointment. We specifically went for the vegan cheese for my lactose intolerant daughter and they told us they were all out, they were all out of the charcuterie board. Finally we requested a bottle of pinot Grigio (white wine) which was brought to us warm and the bartender was annoyed when we asked for a chilled bottle. They threw our bottle in a cooler for 10 mins and brought it back warm again. I had to put ice in the wine to drink it. Very disappointing for a special and expensive meal.

    Very short staffed. Long wait for reserved table, finally asked for a server. Poor hostess tried to make amends by providing water. After an hour, still no server, no drinks, no orders taken. Finally left. Not what we had hoped for a birthday dinner.

    Great food! The service was fantastic. We were there for a birthday dinner celebration and didn’t feel rushed. We took our time and enjoyed ourselves!

    Service was poor, charged an extra 45 dollar fee for “gratuity” without us being able to do anything about it. Server had little knowledge about gluten free food even tho our server the first time was excellent! It really just depends who you get as your waiter/waitress. The Caesar salad was missing the pine nuts that coke on top, even though the menu clearly stated it’s come with them, when I asked the waitress for the pine nuts she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. The flaming turtle chocolate fondue we got they are supposed to poor some type of liquor on top and light it on fire, she did not do that. The server we had the first time we went back in October was excellent, the lady we had last night was not.

    Booked for Saturday after valentines. I looked at the menu online and saw the Valentines menu but thought it was an option. Arriving I learned it was the only menu at 2x the regular menu price for the exact same amount of food. Sad
