However, after we spoke with her, the service improved significantly.

They mistakenly gave my mother-in-law someone else's rejected order, which happened to be the same as hers. It was cold and was handed to her just as our entrees were arriving, which is quite questionable. The salads were overpriced, and the crème brûlée was soggy with no hard caramel top—why is that? The kids' meal was also overpriced. There were clear quality issues when my mother-in-law received a charred, cold steak just five minutes after we ordered while we were still waiting for our entrees, which was really poor service. Because of all of this, I won't be returning. On a positive note, our waitstaff were great. The fish tacos and crunchy chickpeas were nice, and the oysters were incredibly fresh.

I received a dish that consisted of a small bowl of lettuce with just five tiny pieces of lamb—each about an inch square and very thin. The crispy chicken was excessively dry, lacking flavor, and also came with a bowl of greens. The mushroom dish was so off that it didn’t even taste like mushrooms, and we didn’t eat it at all. I wouldn’t consider dining here again unless there were new chefs and a revamped menu. It was a terrible experience overall. Although the staff removed three meals from our bill, we still ended up paying over $200. We only had one alcoholic drink each, making it feel incredibly expensive. Unfortunately, we had to go elsewhere to eat because we were all still hungry. This restaurant is not for us.

Amazing food. Could you please send me a voucher so I can come back with my family? Mike read more Amazing food. Could you please send me a voucher so I can come back with my family? Mike

Food was nice but my steak was slightly cold.... my husbands came with a anchovy butter which was lovely but his steak was also slightly cold it hardly melted the butter. My drink was forgotten not once but twice. Still over all a nice venue and tasty food just very evident that staffing was an issue that night. My in-laws how ever had a lovely lamb rack share platter and my daughter enjoyed her pasta dish very much!
