I once enjoyed this place but have found that the restaurant's charming decor and delicious food are not enough for the experience one must endure think Soup Nazi.
Waiting two hours or more to be seated is the norm, but after being on the digital waitlist for 50 minutes, I was notified that my table for 2 was ready. However, When I arrived at the restaurant, they told me I had to wait because my son, age 6, was the second guest. They couldn't seat us at the bar, so we had to wait until a table opened. I ended up staying for another 30 minutes, and during that time, the host asked us to wait outside in the 38-degree weather.
As a warning for parents of children with autism or sensory processing difficulties, this restaurant is not conducive or accommodating for children in general. However, they do have a tasty kids' menu.
Further, the environment is overstimulating, and seating is tight to pack in more customers. The crowdedness has been exacerbated to the point that anyone who's not a string bean is forced to enter seats sideways, sometimes on tiptoe, and invade a neighbor's space in one of two ways: by butt or by crotch. The hostess also asked me as I was trying to enjoy dinner with my 6-year-old son. If I could move and had to pick up my son and move his chair so she could sit a party behind us. *note: my son is special needs and has a hard time walking.
Additionally, it is worth noting that the restroom is only accessible by walking through the kitchen space; often, workers run about, and it is pretty crowded.
On most occasions, the staff has been incredibly nice, and that has made the wait tolerable, but on this occasion, the waiter was quite literally yelling at me when I asked questions and was not attentive to the table after the order was placed.
Because of this, I would opt for take-out, or skip going to this restaurant altogether because making it yourself would require the same amount of time and less effort/ anxiety!!
