"It's closed and you can see why. Food took forever and the service was non-existent. Good riddance. I liked you, but no longer."

"Food as excellent as always. We needed a couple extra minutes to make our decisions (so many choices sounded delicious). It felt like our waiter forgot about us. Otherwise, an excellent evening."

"The experience was good, except, when my party and I were greeted by the host. They turn their backs and never gave us a table time wait for our reservation. They kept quiet and was bickering about something, furthermore, there were no other guest checking in. I had to ask if there was a problem and or a problem with my reservation. After I asked, immediately, I was allowed up to the main dinning area where we were seated. The service from there completely was the anthesis from what I recieved from the host. The meal and food was excellent and the wine was great. If it wasnt for the service and the food, it would have a been a horrible experience with the initial meeting."

"In a time where many restaurants think loud is cool, and poorly trained staff is acceptable, SDLT consistently rises above. They clearly have a higher standard. Last minute vegan requests? Gluten free? Somehow they cheerfully and skillfully address any request."
