Heard really great things so our 3-top (myself, husband, and older daughter) stopped here mid-week last week. We traveled an hour just to get there! It was only about half-full with two waiters visible on the floor. Our male waiter brought us water, then walked away. It took at least 10 minutes for him to come back to take our drink order, at which time we asked him if we could place our food order. He seemed a bit annoyed that we wanted to order food with drinks. It took another 15 minutes for our basic drinks to arrive, and 40 minutes to receive our food: all delivered by other people. We saw our waiter occasionally in the room, but he never came back to our table- he actually spent most of the time in the kitchen.
We were done eating, with our credit card placed next to all our dishes neatly stacked on the edge of our table, and he never came over. After another 20 minutes like this, the other waitress looked at the kitchen, sighed, and took away our dishes. We finally had to go to our waiter the next time we saw him and ask him for our check. We were a quiet table, had simple orders, and were polite. We were dumbfounded for why our waiter was ignoring us.
The ambiance and artwork was really awesome. The food was absolutely delicious- everything we'd read about! Unfortunately, our waiter was pretty much non-existent and disengaged, so for that we took away a star.
