| - This was one of my odd experiences at a restaurant. My visit was for Mother's day, so it was a few months ago, but it was somewhat strange that the experience stayed with me. Overall, the restaurant is really adorable. Love the cozy decor, the liveliness of the cooks working hard and the plating. I think it would be great date night kind of a place. The food was good and enjoyable, but not particularly mind blowing. Would recommend for the vibe.
The strange part of the night was how the server was rushing us to finish. The server was oddly over enthusiastic about clearing our tables even when it was very obvious that we were still working on things. I know that the restaurant changes into a lounge kind of a thing on weekend nights, so I especially booked the reservation a little earlier, keeping this in mind. I'm not sure if the servers felt like they were under a time pressure (the restaurant wasn't even full when we got there though) or perhaps they needed to seem busy since the manager was there, but by the time i got my dessert, I had given up telling the server that I'm still working on my plate (for each course) and just let him take my plate away with my spoon mid-air, with still some bites left. Perhaps, some folks would label this as great service, but it was disappointing that I couldn't fully enjoy my food. Felt like I had to protect my food from having it grabbed away.
