"Having been here for lunch a couple of times, I thought this would be a good venue for dinner before seeing a show. However, the restaurant is preparing for some major renovations so was out of a few of our wine choices as well as food items listed on the menu. I was embarrassed, and had to apologize to my friends for suggesting this restaurant. Guess we'll wait until the renovations before we attempt going back, if we do..."

"This was an extremely disappointing place to dine. I brought myself and a couple girlfriends here, and we were immediately sat by a table with three screaming toddlers. I would understand if it was really busy, but there was only two tables in the place, with many open spots. Upon request we were relocated to the lounge, which the server kept on calling us "hun" and "girls". I don't know if its just my thing, but nothing annoys me more when a lady younger than me calls me "hun".

Anyway, the cocktail I ordered was not made correctly, my friend who was a bartender in the past had to fix it. The food was greasy and unappetizing.

I will not be back, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!"

"It was an overall pleasant dining experience. Perhaps they were a bit understaffed for Valentine's night as it took a while for our waitress to arrive after being seated. Nonetheless, the service was excellent. Our meal was wonderfully prepared."
