Can't even comment on the food, since we didn't get anything but our appetizer.When we arrived, we were told that they were closed for a bit for a private event; no worries, we waited until the time they told us.When we showed back up, they sat 6 tables all at once outside. They then realized it was cold outside, and scrambled to get their heaters placed and lit. Turns out they were a tank short. They poorly placed the remaining warmers, leaving the section of the restaurant we were sitting it in out in the cold, literally. We asked if I hey could relocate some of the warmers to better distribute heat, especially since they were getting a wood oven going in a corner where they also had a warmer. The waitress said she needed to get somebody, and we never saw her again.After that debacle, it seemed the waitresses couldn't remember who had what table. We waited 20 minutes to get service. The table they sat us at was under a gap in the roofing, and it was raining. I asked if I could move the table a few feet to get it under some cover, and I was told it's raining on everyone It was another 20 minutes before we got our appetizer. The appetizer tasted like it had been warm at one point, but, much like our table, was forgotten about for a while. We immediately asked for the check, because we were fed up. All we had to show for being there for over 45 minutes was a cold appetizer, and possibly a cold (we'll see in the morning). Even getting our check took forever; we ended up leaving cash on the table and leaving.We ended driving past the restaurant about an hour later, and they still had the warmers poorly distributed.

The atmosphere is very romantic, well-lit with outdoor heaters and a cozy interior. I visited this place about once a week for four months when I was in the area. However, there is a server named Johnny who was a bit creepy and tried to ask me out on a date through Yelp, which I did not appreciate.
