| - I reserved a table here for my friend's birthday. Upon arrival we only had to wait for about 4 minutes to be seated. The hostess was very pleasant.
Once seated, our waiter arrived immediately, but only to ask us if our fourth person was coming. We replied with a yes, and before I could ask about the cocktails, he was gone. He returned just after our fourth person arrived. We all ordered drinks and they were moderately prompt with serving them to us. The cocktails come in short glasses. They were pretty tasty. but I believe they are a little skimpy on the alcohol. No big deal.
We ordered 2 appetizers / small bites: Dates and Chicken Meatballs, and 2 entrees: Chicken and Salmon. After about 40 minutes of waiting our waiter returned to apologize for the delay as they had a large party upstairs. At that time, I wasn't upset about it because we were having a good conversation. Several minutes later I began to get irritated, especially since I had an empty drink. The waiter returned with the 2 entrees but didn't offer to refill our drinks. 1 entree was incorrect but he returned with the corrected item about 5 minutes later. About 10 minutes later, after the entrees were now cold, he returned with the appetizers. This was probably the most irritating part of my night. He did mention he wanted to bring out the entrees so they didn't sit under heat lamps, but our appetizers were simple and should have been made before the entrees. I wanted to order another drink and another small bite, but was scared I'd have to wait another hour. I expressed my feelings about the wait and he sent over the manager who gave us a 25% discount off the entire bill. That was kind of him and much appreciated. Overall the vibe is nice and the staff was kind. I just think they cannot accommodate for larger parties. Maybe it was an off night or they were short handed in the kitchen. I'll give it another try because overall the food was pretty tasty and everyone was as pleasant as they could be given the circumstances.
