Celebrated husbands birthday and made reservations. Ended up rescheduling on ressy for earlier available time. Hostess seemed confused. We were placed at a table right in the sun and asked for new table and sat right in the door way. Table was almost too much in the way for guests and servers. Server was polite but not too personable. Food was delicious, came out warm. Definitely get a lot of meat with the Lamb. Atmosphere was a bit loud and seemed too busy to enjoy.

Last night, we had memorable food, but the service and the extremely loud atmosphere were a letdown. Our server was unprofessional and rude. When we asked for a box for a piece of tart, they promised to take care of it. However, when we returned home, the tart was placed upside down in the box, with all the mushrooms and cheese scattered around. To make matters worse, when we received our check, it wasn’t ours. We asked the people nearby, and it was theirs. They laughed because they were a larger group and wanted to pay and leave quickly, as their check was significantly more expensive. The noise level during our hour-long stay was over 95 decibels. It was unbelievable that they were playing music in such a high-end restaurant while being so loud. (Is it really high end?) We were hoping to speak with the manager, but he was preoccupied with a group of four young girls who he was offering treats while devouring them with his gaze. He was hungry.

They have heaters outside which is helpful since they book up so quickly! Unfortunately it was worth the hype… really hope they do better with treating their staff. The boycott is convincing.
