- DSDaniel SutherlandDec 20, 20251.0Firstly who doesn't take a reservations. Secondly 3 families in line, ours was first not greeted, only recognized to tell us to sit down then proceed to seat the other families? While waiting we witness the elderly service get mad about the seating app and belittle the Ukrainian service. Mine you both noted the que order then ignored it. I wouldn't go back what a joke to fight in front of guest.
- SSShiannaDec 17, 20255.0Hostess Kate was super friendly and attentive. While we waited for a table, she made sure our party felt like a priority, even on a very busy night. Once we were seated, she came over to take our drink order and even helped us get the answer to a question we had regarding the nightly special. Her warmth and excellent service really stood out and made the whole experience enjoyable!
