Food was absolutely amazing I loved our waiter this lovely girl! I went on Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend but unfortunately we felt uncomfortable. My jacket wasn’t taken even though I saw a coat closet. We are still teens so we weren’t really sure how things worked and I was pretty nervous and relied on my boyfriend. First thing we were shown was the set menu and the price and honestly it felt a little judgy as if we were asked if we even had enough money. The outdoor seating was so gorgeous but it took extremely long for our waiter to finally give us menus and explain everything. She kindly explained how apologetic she is that our table wasn’t properly set up. When waiting for our food, many other waiters were looking at us weirdly and it took quite long for us to get our food. One hou

We had an excellent experience in the garden room for our niece’s first holy communion. The whole celebration was excellent, the staff positive and helpful through out. The food was good standard Italian served for large parties, fresh ingredients and well seasoned. The bathrooms remained clean and well stocked through out the event.

The math is simple: the total should have been around $2,300, maybe $2,500 with the extra drinks. Instead, we were charged over $4,000 plus tip. The wines weren’t even finished, and the “included” soft drinks were never provided. We had already paid a $500 cash deposit, but it’s obvious he didn’t apply it to the bill. My father-in-law was only given a credit card transaction slip that night, not an itemized receipt. When we went back to ask for a copy, Michael lied and said he had already given it to m
