Wish I could give this place higher ratings. We came here yesterday, had a reservation for 5:15pm, but called to say we were running late. They were able to accommodate us for 6pm, and we arrived on time for our updated reservation. So far things are looking good. The parking lot is a mess, but we were able to find parking surprisingly. Didn't see the free valet that was mentioned in the reviews. So we get to the restaurant, and they have a table waiting for us. Now this is when things go downhill. We have a party of 5 adults and 1 toddler. They decide to seat us at the table on the 2nd floor right at the staircase opening. There's like maybe 1-2 feet between the chairs and the staircase, so obviously can't risk toddler sitting by the chairs closest to the stairs. The innermost chairs are in this staircase balcony area, which appeared at first, to be safe for toddler. So we decide to seat him there. Now, he's a toddler and he wants to run around before sitting, especially as all the other adults decide to go to the bathroom first. The staircase bannister in the balcony area is spaced wide enough that toddler body can slip through the railing. This is super super super dangerous. Good thing I had caught him before he slipped his whole body through and fell (I had only taken my eyes off him for like a brief second so I could put all my stuff down). So now I am shaken up by a near accident and ask for another table. Now I understand that there are other reservations etc, but there was another table nearby same size but plated for 8 guests instead of our 6. They wouldn't seat us there. Instead, told us to give them 5 min and they had another table downstairs ready. So we go downstairs, and the 5 min end up being 30 min. Meanwhile, there were other tables that were open that could have accommodated us - and vacant for at least 1 hr.
So after we finally get seated, we order our food. One couple in our party really loved the duck - I thought the duck sauce was odd tasting - not really sweet but not sour/balsamic tasting either. Oyster bingo was pretty good, but on the saltier side. Calamari was chewy... toddler usually eats this but he couldn't chew this and spat it out. On the plus side, kids menu burger was humongous and a good deal for 12$. It was husband's birthday, and per reviews, seems like they provide some candle or dessert, but this wasn't offered - no big deal, but would have been a nice touch. Service itself was really slow, so we didn't ask for dessert menu either since it was getting really late and we still had to make the one hr drive home. Bill came out to 330$ before tip for 5 adults and 1 toddler.
To summarize... wasn't impressed, would not go back.
