The hostess seems a little stressed and had a big to do based around whether or not people had made reservations before showing up. Saw a guy walk out on her because he didn't want to deal with her parade. Experienced hostesses would know before a guest showed what the availability is, the place had many empty tables.

Your coworker "Nick" was also so embarrassed of your production that he could not stop apoligizing to us about...
Read moreWhat a pleasant surprise. I knew the atmosphere would be Old World cozy and classy - but didn’t know it would be warm and down to earth (not classic and cold as some similar places might be). But I didn’t expect the menu to be so creative and filled with reasonably priced surprises. The unexpected twists and variety of different foods for all tastes went way beyond what one might expect from a hotel restaurant. Plus, we happened upon half price for wine bottle evening, which was another pleasant surprise. Yet none of that would have been as satisfying had the service not been so friendly, again, down to earth and professional. It was one of the most pleasant experiences at a restaurant I can remember and would be worth a trip even from...
