| - We dined here for a friend's birthday with a groupon. It was fun, but the experience could have been better.
When we arrived we had reservations, but still ended up waiting a little while for a table. It was strange, because at this point most of the tables were empty and the restaurant was not busy at all. When we were sat at a table we immediately had to move to another table because apparently there was a mistake. The staff wasn't rude about it, but they weren't apologetic, either.
The groupon rules were confusing at best. I've never been to a restaurant that had such confusing hoops to jump through to use a groupon. (Your meal could only cost X amount, if you went over that you couldn't just pay the amount, you had to pay half of the cost of the entree extra, etc.) While the groupon was a great deal, it was made really confusing to use. It felt like a bit of a run around, which was annoying from a restaurant that was so expensive.
The food itself was delicious! Almost everyone at our table had the beef option and enjoyed it. The scallops one person ordered weren't as good as the beef option. And the chef was fun and entertaining, he did a wonderful job.
Overall, we had a fun experience. I definitely would have felt it was overpriced without the groupon that a friend had, but I don't think I would return considering how confusing the groupon was. So, it was fun but I don't think we will be back.
