We really enjoyed the food, however the service needs refining. Everything came promptly, however we specified bringing oysters out first & the rest of the dishes later. That wasn't respected.
The waiter seemed as though serving us was a painful task. We even tried engaging him in conversation & he said he was introverted & would leave our table as soon as possible. He made efforts to avoid us. We wouldn't go back to this restaurant solely based on the poor service.
Staff was friendly & service was prompt, but I'm not a fan of joint service. Several different waiters means no one is apying specific attention to the table, & it dampened the mood a little.
L'équipe a relevé mon défi d'ajuster un de leur super cocktail pour réduire grandement le sucre. C'était bon, beau & ajusté parfaitement! Bravo! Service formidable!
