UPDATE: I received a phone call from the chef of the restaurant. He saw my review on Yelp and left me a heartfelt apology about my experience at his restaurant. I appreciated the gesture very much.
-------------------
Very disappointed! I was so excited to eat here with 3 of my friends especially after reading these very positive and enthusiastic reviews. The food was mediocre 2.5/5 but what was worst was the service. The chef doubled as a server and I'm sure although he meant well was incredibly disruptive to our dining experience. He would not stop talking, be unaware of the social cues of our table and was at times offensive. At the end of our meal the group of us sat and talked and he just stood a few feet away reading a magazine hovering over us. His presence and conversation made us uncomfortable. I would not suggest going here.
