| - With family, went here for my wife's birthday. I placed the reservation over the phone a few days before. The woman on the other end of the line was quite pleasant. I asked if they might be willing to turn the air down a little if it got too warm. She asked the owner, who was standing beside her. The owner cheerfully agreed.
When we arrived, the place was busy (this is good), but warm. I visited the front counter to ask the servers if they could turn the air down. Instead, I ended up speaking with the owner. I mentioned it was my wife's birthday and that I'd called before and asked if the air could be turned down. Without hesitation, the owner agreed. Within a few minutes, the place cooled down--which all of us genuinely appreciated.
Everyone enjoyed their meal; however, the server could have been a little more attentive. Several glasses were empty throughout the meal. And perhaps I expected too much, but I informed the restaurant twice (once in placing the reservation over the phone, and informing the owner while we were there) that it was my wife's birthday, but they didn't bother to recognize it in any way. They didn't even wish her a happy birthday. To be fair, the place was busy, but our bill was over $150...I guess I expected a little more.
The food and atmosphere were great; the service was okay. Still, we liked it enough to come back.
