Do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere. There are plenty of other restaraunts in around the Orange Circle area, dine there. This place had such poor service and that should have been a hint because the place at the time when I dined had maybe 3 other customers seated for lunch. I passed other restraunts around the circle at lunchtime that were busy and nearly full, so shame on me. I won't be returning. Please don't make the same mistake I did. GO ELSEWHERE !!!

The reservation was made several days in advance and confirmed that day an hour beforehand. The wait staff, while trying her hardest, was left EXTREMELY understaffed. We waited almost an hour for our food while small tables were served around us. We were a six person party and the 24 and 14 person parties were being attended to. The app was cold, we had no salt or pepper, it took.a long time to get wine refills and my husband and my father had to send back their meals. The staff tried to make it right by reducing our bill, but my mother in law's 80th birthday was already ruined.

We were two couples celebrating two birthdays. Got there in time for Happy Hour, so we took advantage with drinks and an appetizer. My wife had the lamb chops, which were cooked just right. I had the stuffed chicken, which was very flavorful, though the portion could have been a bit larger. We all split a chocolate souffle for dessert. Very tasty. Very enjoyable.

Restaurant had a great variety of lunch options. We liked the $15.00 lunch. Glad to have reservations as the restaurant was very busy for lunch. Our server was great. Good explanation of specials and service was very good. Will return when we are in the area.
