I so wanted to love this place based on the reviews, and the other couple I was with were equally exictied. We came about 7 pm on a Thursday night, and I was not sure we were in the right place. I am not sure if this plave knows what it wants to be? Is it a bar, a restaurant, or a nightclub? Insta posts show this lovely soft music/date plae...however you walk in and the lights are low, flashing lights, and they had an actual DJ (Leslie) that had the music so loud people were shouting at each other. My friends apple watch went off and told her "warning excessice noise volume."
There isn't even a dance floor, so I am not sure why in the world the music would be that loud. What was being played would have been fine (club music), just turned down.
Service - we were seated right away and then ignored by every server for over 20 minutes. The servers would walk by, look at us, and keep walking. We almost left.
Finally, a manager came by and asked if we had been helped and took our order. Apps came out in a decent amount of time, maybe 10-15 min, and they all looked good. My friend said her potstickers were good. We had the pork boa buns that had soggy bottoms and way overcooked pork (pork jerky). However, the pickled carrots on top were amazing. We also ordered the capellini steak. Which is steak, pasta, and mixed greens on top. It came out missing the pasta. When I asked the server, she said that is how it came, and "capenelli" means something else, but she could not tell me what it meant? I showed her a picture of what calenelli Pasta was, and she just shrugged - she did offer to go get a plate of pasta - we declined. My friend had several items missing off her dish. Which hey if your out of stuff, change your menu or just tell people - we get it. The supply chain is tough , but be honest.
The dessert was a cheesecake with strawberries ontop- the strawberries were still frozen (they should not have been) but it tasted good. Overall highs and lows but the music being turned up so loud, poor service, confused menu...not sure why this place is so beloved??
