i'm a fan of yelp, but this is my first review. I felt strongly about my experience and wanted to share my feelings.
pros:
- great, accommodating and multi-tasking bartender - water cup appeared immediately as each person arrived at the bar
- the outdoor garden is romantic, candle-lit, intimate, just special
- garlicky fries packed a powerful punch
- scallops were cooked well (though too much salt) and accompanying cauliflower and grape dish was interesting and delightful, really
cons:
- your reservation does not reserve a seat in the garden, which is first come, first serve (had a reservation at 8:30 p.m., sat outside at 9:06 p.m.)
- the hostess was cold and awkward, not at all gracious; e.g., even though we had been waiting for a while to be seated, when a table finally became available, she expected us to rush while we closed our bar tab. also, we just got new drinks that were filled to the brim and I was surprised that no one offered to bring our drinks out (this experience in and of itself compelled me to write my first yelp review)
- while friendly, the wait staff did not seem to understand when we said, "please bring us our entrees, while we munch on our appetizers"
- waited 20 minutes for the appetizers to arrive and had to ask for bread
verdict: food was good, but not good enough to make up for the spotchy service. i don't know if i'd eat here again, but i'll probably return for a late night drink.
