Good service.
Disappointing service
A service interaction centered on a waiter encouraging a diner to order crispy tofu, which the guest accepted while expecting only a few pieces that could be set aside. The account highlights a gap between how the suggestion was understood and what the diner anticipated receiving, without establishing whether that experience extended beyond this individual visit.

- Service: percentage: 10.25%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 60.1%; sample reviews analyzed: 9,035
- Illustrative service comment: But the waiter pushed the tofu in be by saying” crispy tofu” or whatever so I figured there be a few bits I could ignore and I would eat the vegetables.

All the dishes we had were excellent, the service great and the patio seating very nice, too.
Can't wait to go back!
The illustrative comment connects a busy restaurant with the need for reservations rather than describing an actual delay after arrival. Its relevance is the language guests may use when discussing access and anticipated waiting. The account itself does not establish how long anyone waited or whether every visit required advance booking.
Evidence:
- Wait time: percentage: 13.74%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 25.81%; sample reviews analyzed: 9,035
- Illustrative wait time comment: Many customers, reservations are required.
