Astoundingly poor service. Never had chance to order or even get a glass of water. Strange, uncomfortable, and an unfortunate waste of time on a precious date night. We were excited about the menu and got nothing due to no service. Truly odd and a shame.

Got there and was told they couldn't honor it, and had no idea how to check that I had made one. I showed them the confirmation I received from open table and I still got shrugs. They said that no one called them to make the reservation. SMH! I feel like this is a bait and switch tactic to get people to show up and know about the restaurant.
