We got seated and were brought a pitcher of water and no glasses, the menu and silverware. We left after 30 min of never having anyone stop by to take our order. Not what I would expect for something under the Michael Mina...

There was no general manager on staff and the waiter who was very nice had no ability to help make us feel welcomed. Sad to say I don’t see this place doing well.

I would have just walked out if I already wasn’t in for $20. Music and spot is nice. Such potential if it were better run. Felt bad for these employees who were...
