"A personal note to the owner. We visited your location last night only to leave disappointed and collectively puzzled. First let us start by saying your hostess was so unaware of her surroundings, once a table is sat it should be her responsibility tokeep an eye on it and make sure someone actually goes to the table, instead she was too busy being perched back on her chairwhich by the way is such a bad look, chairs at host stations are nothing more than tools to make the staff lazy. The young ladywho to our understanding is the manager and also a family member could also not be bothered to pay attention as she was too busymingling by the bar, a shame really. No server, bus person, etc bothered to approach our table so after 15 minutes or so weleft. As we were leaving the hostess said oh are you sure? umm yes lol! and then she said oh I am sorry, tonight we areswamped which your place was not. Not only was your team not swamped but many of the tables around us had finished eating.Sometimes it is better to say nothing than to say something so obtuse. Your prices are quite high for such unimpressiveservice; Sides not being included and all that, we found ourselves unable to justify the prices we were going to pay you after15 minutes waiting with no service. We also found ourselves not finding many interesting options and I know thismight sound silly but your font selection, inconsistency in capitalization, the random use of bold letters, and the prices beingin a larger font than the item itself are simply bad menu design choices that were highly distracting while browsing throughyour menu. Also, you are wasting a lot of money in printing paper menus and it isn 't environmentally conscientious but that 'syour prerogative I suppose. Oh, one last thing that giant structure behind the hostess is also very odd and its really ruiningthe flow of your space by taking away from the dining room as well as the lamps, you could really benefit fr"

"Easily the worst on so many Our waitress was easily the worst I’ve ever had. I can’t even go into each category of that, but it was The outside deck was sad looking. I mean act like you actually are welcoming people to dine with you. The place looked like a fraternity basement. After years of dining there times, they tell me they are no longer allowing a corkage. And that the bottle of wine I brought can’t be opened. Why? Not a welcoming message after a year of slow business, and the restaurant not that full Their deck overlooks the streets of Downtown Stamford. The car drive by’s pounding music and reving engines is not their fault, but it was also the worst ever and our time there suffered as a The food was ok, usually is. Just a bit cold, the speed from the kitchen hot to table, was clearly not quick enough not sure where that problem Plus note, the hostess was super nice upon After not being able to open my bottle that I brought, and usually happy to pay the corkage fee, I picked bottles from their list, of course they didn’t have those vintages in some cases, and in some cases didn’t have that wine either. So their wine list is out After spending as we always do, the bottom line is the service dropped significantly, the food was coldish and didn’t come all at once. The table service was very poor, the wine experience was a zero, the ambiance was a zero, and their presentation of their outdoor eating area was a zero.How in the world do we go back and allow that to happen again?I expect this restaurant to be closed inside of a year"
