I probably would have enjoyed the food if it wasn't for being seated 1 and a half hours after our reservation (made 1 week in advance) and having to stand around in the chaotic bar area where the hostesses kept shoving group after group. In the stampede like atmosphere we met some people who had been waiting for almost 2 hours--it was 10 and they had 8pm reservations! Soon after we were seated, the waiter came up to our table and dropped off 4 pieces of bread for the 8 of us to share. Then he asked if we were ready to order. We said we needed a few more minutes and he gave us a look and shrug that was something to the effect of “suit yourself, but I don’t know when I will be back.” I think the food was good, but I was so embarrassed for having recommended this place that I couldn’t enjoy it. I would NOT recommend this place for groups on a Fri or Sat night.
Pros: Cheese, dessert, food overall
Cons: Long wait but nowhere to sit
