    Made a 6:30 reservation for my family, got there on time and was asked for my phone number, and they would text me when ready. I asked about the reservation time, and was told that a party had ran over and it would be about 20 minutes. We walked around the market looking for cookies to take home after dinner for Mother's Day the next day. 40 minutes later we were still not called so we went back to the hostess to see what was happening, we were told 10 more minutes, no apologies. Mind you, I'm here with a 3 and a 4 year old, which is why we made a 6:30 res. We were finally seated at about 7:30, at a table that had been empty for the 20 minutes we were waiting. The table had 1 glass on it, which was dirty and all the rolls of silverware were also dirty. After sitting for 15 minutes and no one coming to the table, we saw the hostess walking by and asked if she could send over a waiter. She said she would. After ten more minutes of no one coming to the table.we got up and left. Told the hostess that we were leaving and explained why, and finally got the first apology of the evening. We left and went to another restaurant. I understand things can happen, and times can be thrown off, but the way it was handled was the main problem. If it's going to be an hour, please tell me that it's going to be an hour, not 20 minutes, especially with young children who can start to get really rambunctious and hangry. At some point a manager should have been around to apologize, and help deal With the situation. We were not the only people there upset, and this hostess didn't seem to care.

    Beautiful ambiance and the food and drinks were stellar. We sat outside but it wasn’t chilly thanks to fire pits and heaters.

    Our servicer (Racquel) was fabulous - however the sax playing was too loud to enjoy conversation at our table and the prices did not compliment the food - some of our orders were wrong. I don't think we will be going back
