| - If you're friends with the owner, this is a great place. If you're a customer, try somewhere else.
Now that I've read other reviews of this place, I wish I had read them before I went. Many complain that the service provided was sub-par and it was not a pleasant experience. Same thing happened to me, in a more extreme way.
We really liked the look of the place and thought we'd give it a try. It was a nice sunny day, perfect day for a patio. The patio was full so we asked if we could make a reservation for next time at the patio. They told us patio's are first come first served, so we decided to wait for it at the bar inside. About 40~50min into waiting, we had a couple of drinks and it didn't seem like anyone was going to leave anytime soon, so we decide we should come back next time. As we were leaving, we noticed a table just opening up at the patio (yay!), so we asked if we can take it. The receptionist told us to wait until they an clear the table, then the manager comes back to us saying that the table is reserved, contrary to their first-come first served policy. They said it was for a 'special friend'.
I think it speaks for the integrity of the business and the mindset the owner has with this business. Any restaurant that bends their own rules which they've set to ensure no customers are treated unfairly, to accommodate for a situation is risky. Who knows what they'll do to the food if price of the ingredients change? Or if the chef is in a bad mood?
