"The restaurant was oddly quiet when we entered, and we soon found out why. The service was extraordinarily slow (despite being the only people in the entire restaurant, we waited about an hour and a half for our entrees). The wait staff made constant mistakes from bringing dishes to the wrong person, to repeatedly forgetting one of the people at our table had a dairy allergy. (they forgot to remove the dairy from her appetizer, and from the side salad which they served her as a replacement for the side that came with her dish which had dairy) They seemed confused about which things on the menu had dairy, and the menu also had several things labeled gluten free which we were then told were actually not gluten free. If you have a food allergy, I would HIGHLY recommend staying away. We did not feel safe here. To top things off, they completely forgot to put in the order for my entree. They offered to make it, but at that point we had already been waiting for the other entrees and apps for about two hours, so we decided to leave. Most of the food was alright, but nothing stood out, and it certainly wasn’t worth the price point of the restaurant. The one exception to the food being alright was the deviled eggs which tasted nearly inedible. The whole thing seemed like a massive failure of management. Whoever is responsible for running this restaurant needs to ensure the experience is significantly improved."
