One of the worst experiences we've ever had at a restaurant.
Have visited a few times, always enjoyed the food and atmosphere!! Recently my boyfriend planned us a date night here and we weren’t sadly disappointed with the server we had 🙁 and left before even ordering.. unfortunate night..

Awful service at the bar... Saturday evening, very busy of course and only 1 person serving behind the bar. She got the drinks wrong and was not happy when she was told !

Went in with a small group of friends. When we asked to split the bill the bar tender calculated a 20% tip on everyone’s bill and hand wrote in the tip about. There wasn’t a sign posted about added gratuity for parties over a certain size. When the bar tender was asked about these things she got rude. I have no problem tipping for good service but just adding it in because you feel like it is not ok.

Visit with a friend. Beautiful atmosphere but the service was terrible. There was only two couples in the building but sat me all the way in the back by the kitchen. (??♀️No big deal). They turned on everybody little lamps but ours again (??♀️ no big deal). I asked if they could make virgin drinks the server and manager seem unhappy about my request but I thought maybe I'm reading into things. I was told what I order was really rich but they brought me bland dry bread. When my food was served I shared with the waiter I didn't like what was served. She was appalled, walked away, and told the kitchen give table 46 their check and get them out of here. The original waiter brought the check still charging me for food they snatched (rudely) away from us. I had asked for a manager and my friend asked was the manager the one that just said "give table 46 their check and get them out of here". She said "yes" and went in the kitchen and repeated what she asked her. One of the males in the kitchen said "if they want to talk to the manager I'll go out there", as if she was making some kind of issue. When we left the manager tried to bump into my friend purposely. She stepped out of her way. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone but honestly I wouldn't recommend it to black people because everyone else that came in after us was treated awesome.

I asked for an espresso martini. Bartender goes did you see that on the menu? And walks away. I’m from out of town and we don’t treat people that way. She comes back 10 minutes later and goes did you finally decide what you want? I won’t be back and will make sure I let everyone know not to go there.
