Reviews
across this one!! This is an amazing establishment ! Food was amazing! Shout to the bartender Lana she was the sweetest and helpful. I got the lamb chops over veggies with potatoes wedges, a birthday dessert and a few drinks off the cocktail menu 10/10
Initially, I was seated downstairs, but I quickly found the jazz music to be excessively loud. While I imagine the volume would be acceptable on a busy night, it simply carried too much in the nearly empty space (save for one large group). I politely asked to move and was grateful to relocate to one of the street-level tables upstairs.
The three staff members upstairs were kind and personable. I wish they had been my server. They created a warm, welcoming vibe.
My order was simple: a salad and a pizza. Despite the long wait time, I was still excited to try the food. The salad was fresh, and the pizza was truly fantastic.
Unfortunately, the superb food was overshadowed by the service. I got unlucky, my waitress acted as if I were an inconvenience, never made eye contact, and seemed determined to avoid the table. When the food was delivered, she mumbled a few words, practically dropped the plates, and quickly retreated downstairs. Didn’t ask if I needed anything.
The final interaction was really awkward. Upon presenting the check, she had automatically pre-set the tip to over 20%. I almost laughed at the disconnect. I adjusted the tip to 10%. This finally prompted a reaction: she looked me in the eye, clearly puzzled, and asked if I didn’t like the food.
I confirmed the food was “great” but the service was lacking, she flippantly turned around and mumbled something in a foreign language toward the upstairs staff. Thankfully, one of the personable upstairs team members noticed and sincerely asked if everything was okay. I explained the situation, feeling reassured that my feedback landed with someone who genuinely cared about the customer experience.
The kitchen deserves a five-star rating; the food is worth seeking out. I wish I recommend the dining experience fully. On a weekend, this would be a great place with entertainment and food. For me, service matters just as much as the quality of food.
We were charged $25 per person just to be seated, which already put the bill at $380 for our group of 3. We were never clearly informed that there was a strict 1.5 hour time limit at the time of seating or ordering. Only after we finished our meal were we told that we had to leave immediately because our time was up.
If you’re going to charge a premium just to sit down, basic transparency is the bare minimum. A time limit like that should be clearly disclosed up front, not enforced after guests have already spent a significant amount of money.
The food itself was fine, but the experience felt rushed and transactional. For the price point, this is not the level of hospitality I’d expect. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return or recommend this place based on how this was handled.
