This is one of the worst dining experiences in my life. Service was horrible. Their waitstaff is completely pretentious and tried to make us order certain things we didn't like. The waitstaff wasn't well informed about the menu and was inattentive. They seemed to be unconcerned with service there. I saw our waittress standing around talking to someone else when I had asked for something. I had to ask a passing bus boy to help me out. Their waitstaff was just incredibly snobbish. When the chicken came undercooked, I asked to take it back and was met with some fierce opposition by our waitress. That, is the sign of terrible service. She didn't apologize for the fact that it was undercooked, but rather gave a look of annoyance.
The atmosphere is WAY too loud for a good, respectable fine dining restaurant. The restaurant tries to be a bar/happy hour and a fine dining establishment at the same time. It's terrible. The restaurant is very small, so the sound from the bar area travels very easily to the dining room. I had to shout to my boyfriend over dinner just to be heard. NOT romantic at all.
The food wasn't very good either. It's not bad, but for those prices, I'd expect more than an undercooked piece of chicken rubbed with salt and pepper. My boyfriend got the steak and it wasn't much better than what you could make at home. It's just grilled and thrown in an oven.
I've also heard that they refused to pay people in the kitchen as well. I heard that a chef worked there for 2 months and wasn't paid. She said that the secret sauce that they have is just rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley, garlic and olive oil. They throw that on everything with some salt and pepper. I DO NOT support an establishment with terrible morals. What kind of an establishment doesn't pay someone for work done?
Support other restaurants with higher moral standards - ones who pay their employees!!
Pros: nothing
Cons: food, service, morals, price, ambience
