All in all, decent food, uneven service, and a vibe that made us feel like we weren’t the table they were hoping for.

Tripadvisor Top complaints
Adorable from the outside and full of interesting decor on the inside, but food is forgettable and it would be far better if the staff took customers as seriously as they take themselves.
Tripadvisor Top complaints
After being seated I set a bottle of wine on the table.
Tripadvisor Top complaints
After reprimanding us for not asking the hostess if the table she was seating us at was meant for us, he couldn't even bother to say "enjoy your meal" or "sorry for the mix-up." We tried to recover, but the atmosphere was very much like a bar scene - not what we expected for a so-called "high-end steakhouse." The noise level was off the charts and the manager, along with another female manager, constantly walked around the floor between the tables just watching everyone.
