Excited to try this place as it always seems so lively and many of my friends love it. I made a reservation via open table to ensure I had a table
And that went well. I had a table waiting for me. I asked about a wine and the waitress said she never had it and offered a taste of it and holy cow...that took 20 minutes and then another 20 to get the bottle and another 30 for the food. She kept blaming a back up at the bar...which was seriously empty so i would hate to see what a weekend night that's busy would be like.
Outside of the slow and undesirable service...the food was top notch. This restaurant would make it on food alone and it might just be so good that it would compensate for the miserable service.
The waitress asked if we needed boxes and obviously sees we have a pizza and realized after she brings tiny boxes that....yeah pizza...doesn't quite go in a tiny box. I'm not sure what kind of experience she has in restaurant....but she really needs some training.
I think the front of the house needs work to really nail this. If this restaurant flops, it's because of the front of the house. The food is impeccable. We had some amazing food. A little disappointed that they were out of meatballs though...but every dish was amazing.
