I want to preface this that the waitress we had was incredibly wonderful. The food was also amazing. That was not the problem. The problem was the lady who “greeted” us. Had I have not been with my mother, I would have spoken up. The person who greeted us, gave us a look like we must be lost. She asked, can I help you as she looked us up and down. She didn’t even wait for us to answer, she just walked away as we said a table for two. She said ok and walked away. She didn’t even answer. She left us standing there, and then said “ok, well I can seat you in the basement.” To say that my blood pressure sky rocketed, would be an understatement. They were not busy as we just arrived when the restaurant was opening. Thankfully, my mom was not really paying attention to really notice. I’ve worked in many restaurants, and I would have been fired immediately if I interacted with a guest like that. Clearly, we were not good enough to eat in your restaurant. Which, by the way, is incredibly overpriced for what you get. The food is amazing. But, way overpriced. The place is overpriced where they clearly pick which guests get to be seen by the public. Too bad I didn’t get her name, but she had short blonde hair. The date and time we were there was 4:00 pm. Thursday, June 29, 2023. They say us downstairs by a doorway on the bar side. I will be telling as many as I can that the greet staff was unbelievably disgraceful.

I didn't have high expectations when I went in. But oh my goodness, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the presentation was spot on.
