Staff was arguing w each other. Drinks never came. With a reservation we were stuck in front of the food delivery counter hoping no one dropped food on us.

When our party of three arrived (rushing to make our reservation), we found one other party of two in the restaurant and two men chatting at the bar. The atmosphere was quiet, to say the least.
Earlier in the day, I’d ogled the menu and was looking forward to the Cajun Chicken Pappardelle with blackened chicken. Although what arrived was still a tasty dish, it was served without pappardelle (my favorite pasta) and without blackened chicken, which in my opinion, is what would have given the dish a Cajun flair.
It wasn’t an entirely bad experience, but I wouldn’t go bad either.

Took 15+ minutes to be sat for our reservation, the restaurant was not busy. When we were sat, took another 15 minutes to get our order. When our server finally arrived, he snapped at my party for finishing a conversation and told them to pay attention to him which we found to be incredibly rude, especially when it took him so long to come at all. Took our drinks and food and took another 15-20 minute to get our drinks, which were incorrect. The restaurant was half full at this point with at least 6 staff members moving around. Our food took over an hour to arrive and at that point we were rushing out to go to our next event, even though we gave ourselves two hours. Our server told us that he took off the automatic gratuity for the trouble but that was false and charged us an automatic 21%, which would have been fine, if the service we received granted it. Food was fine, portions were small.
Very disappointing.
