i've been to this restaurant dozens of times and each time the food is excellent but the owner/host has an arrogance to him that unfortuanately takes away from what could be an amazing restaurant. there is always a long wait on weekends and if he agrees to add your name to his "list" to be called when a table opens up, you may want to have a back up plan or simply stand outside and stare at him until he seats you. it appears there is no rhyme or reason to his seating strategy. the restaurant itself is small and loud but cozy. the waiters/waitresses are always excellent.
