We booked a party at Asalute for my moms 60th birthday. The food was incredible, the guests would not stop raving. We got several appetizers from the rice balls to the calamari everything was incredibly good!!! The prices were definitely fair and the service was top notch! This my new go to restaurant for events. The pork chop in the photo below was sooo good very juicy and potato's and the spice levels were spot on! Highly recommend Asalute!!! read more

A Salute Restaurant - Pork chop - Italian Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Been here 3 times. I had the same dish all three times. First time, party of six. 1/2 ppl. weren't happy with their meals. I was very happy except the pasta was a tad more then Al dente. But, I still enjoyed it. Hence, the reason I have had it each time. This time, not so great. The dish is zuppe di pecse. I don't do clams or mussels. So, leave them out. No issue. This time it was covered with TINY, Teenie tiny calamari tentacles. Very off putting. Dish was not up to par. Bread basket, 1 and 1/2 little rolls. My husband loved the Osso bucco. No longer on the menu. I get that. Prices and availability could be an issue. Anyway, it is off the menu. So, he went with the boneless ribeye. The ribeye was on the menu as, served with carmalized onions and mushroom. When the steak came it had Frizzled onions. My husband HATES frizzled onions. So, he asked the waiter. (how by the way couldn't care less. He said, yeah fried onions. NO genius, these are FRIZZLED onions. Husband ate the steak and although it was good, it was very very salty. Waiter really didn't check back much. When he asked about the bill my husband asked for a menu, he said, dessert menu? No, regular menu. And then my husband pointed out what the menu said. My husband wanted FRIED onions. NOT frizzled. Had he taken a moment to CARE, he would have known it was wrong on the menu OR in the kitchen. He apologized but, truly this was his fathers day dinner and it was not right. Service each time has been a bit off each time. Except for the young lady at the hotess station. Very personable. Maybe they need to retrain some of their waitstaff. We won't go back. To many other places that would be happy to have the business. read more

Total dissatisfaction-ordered a bottle of wine, which they were out of, by the third choice we got a warm bottle of white! Had to dilute with ice as apparently they had no chilled bottles. The mussels were over cooked and dry. The pasta was mushy. Too expensive for the quality presented and inexperienced staff. $10 surcharge for using a Visa card ( no warning) It's really a shame, we so want good restaurants in our area- and when they do close eventually, people wonder why? The customer wants great food, drink , and service. This was not our case! The patio was very nice, and the interior unique. Probably a good bar hangout- but avoid dinner. read more

First and last time there . 1.Went in to see if they had an open table was told by the hostess NO!!called from my car and viola a reservation was set for 30 minutes later !! 2. Sat down and waited for water then another 15 minutes for the waitress to came back to take out order then What seemed like forever we were waiting for our food and nothing was offered to us for the long wait we finally sw another waiter and were bought 3 slices of bread for a party of 2 then we told the waitress we were not happy and where was our food this was after another 20 minutes. she came out with it however the Linguine was dry and tasted like dishwashing water and we complained to the manager about the food and the service from the waitress. The manager came over to us and offered us a coffee and dessert on him at that point we just wanted to go home. Then we waited another 15 minutes for the check and a box for leftovers. We will never go back to this place again !!!Horrible food and horrible service !!! read more

Great atmosphere and excellent service. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the fig pizza and all of their appetizers. The Bolognese pasta and penne vodka were large enough to share by four people. Very generous portions. Our waitress Karen was excellent and provided amazing attentive service. Will definitely come back. read more

My wife and I had dinner there last night. After reading reviews we were finally able to get a dinner reservation. He's what went right and what went wrong , hopefully their management will read this review and make the appropriate adjustments. I am a retired and have been in the restaurant business as a Executive Chef, Line Chef and Catering Chef for many years as well as a culinary school graduate for many years. What went right: The valet and hostess were attentive and welcoming but upon arrival and departure. After being seated by our server Danielle (whom was kind but overwhelme ) she took our cocktail order and they were very good. The manager did stop by prior to our appetizers and dinner arriving , he did his job. This is about where things that went right ended. What went wrong: The bread basket arrived on the table which consisted of (1) slice of bread , cut in half with two pads of butter. That was a bad sign of things to come. We ordered rice balls and "clams casino" , the rice balls were very good but I have never seen clams casino prepared in this manner in my life (I have made them hundreds of times ). The clams were nothing more than clams filled with bread crumb (that were overcooked and burnt) and I didn't detect any bacon , it was more of a baked clam with the sauce being sub par. Our entrees consisted of a classic chicken francaise with artichoke hearts ,grape tomatoes, asparagus and potato (one each). The chicken consisted of (1) cutlet which was "ok". Understanding that each restaurant and chef put their own signature on each entree they serve I was bewildered. The potato was nothing more that (3) three slices of deep fried potato that was so overcooked I thought it was mushrooms, that's how dark they were cooked. The vegetable was cooked properly and sauce good. At this point, our server was now serving a table of (18) , a table of (6), another table of (6) and table of (4). At no time did she come over and see if we wanted another cocktail (which we did) nor did she check to see if we were satisfied with our dinner. We had no contact with her for 45 minutes, then i was able to get her attention for the check because we didn't want to stay any longer. Its sad because we normally have coffee, dessert and a after dinner drink. After receiving the check, it took another 20 minutes to pay and another server had to do that for us because our server was simply overwhelmed. Conclusion and recommendations: I have never written a bad review in my life because I was in the business and I know reviews can effect a business. However, over the years I learned in order to be successful you need to pay attention to detail. The purpose of this review is to educated management in making that business more successful. In my opinion, this place is geared to be a upscale bar with some food as opposed to an upscale restaurant with great drinks. I believe there is a training issue both with servers and certainly in the kitchen. There seemed to be a lack attention to quality of the food preparation and no one checking on each cover that goes out of the kitchen. The bread basket that was served could certainly be improved because it look like an after thought or they didn't have enough and were stretching it. Considering the price of the entrees it was insulting. Homemade rolls with compound butters cost almost nothing to make and when presented to a table , looks like a quality item.Remember bread is the first thing people see ! I'm sure there was not enough wait staff but that is no excuse , there has to be a team effort in the dinning room. The manager needs to make sure the dinning room is running smoothly and needs to make more that one pass or at least come in and show presence in case there are issues. Had he done that a second time , I would have brought these things to his attention. As a Chef , I have had to do these things because the buck stops with me as far as the food goes. The chef needs to train his line chefs and he needs to do quality checks on the food, it is obvious there was no oversight in the kitchen. It is disappointing because my wife and I were looking forward to a great experience , we did not have one. The building and concept were wonderful ideas but it seems like the management and staff have lost focus on the "table of two" which is every resturants bread and butter .This was our first and last visit to this restaurant. Good luck and I hope the management take the negatives in this review and make them positives. read more

So even with a reservation we had to wait over 30 minutes. We ordered appetizers and they came out fairly quick. We ordered the appetizers and entrees together to assist the kitchen. However the entrees never came. 40 minutes after we finished the appetizers still no entrees. The manager came over and did the right thing, apologized and said appetizers were on the house. However we left without eating a meal. By the time we left it was so late we couldn't eat somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend this place and there are way too many places to eat where you actually get your food. Space amazing. Waitress was amazing as it wasn't her fault. Restaurant not so much. No need to go here. Thank you next!!!!!!! read more

I dined here with my family today and had Marisa as a server she was very attentive & friendly I can honestly say we will definitely be back. I had the Ny strip and Shrimp Parmigiana the food was amazing!!!! read more

Had dinner last night with friends. We were seated in the bar area at a high top table. Waited close to 25 minutes before the waiter came over. He wanted to take our order, what about drinks? Ordered a salute salad which lacked enough dressing and flavor, while Caesar salad was bland with stale croutons. Dinner selection. For our group was skirt steak, salmon and chicken Franches, which were mediocre at best. Our waiter was no where to be found for a second round of drinks or water. If they were short staffed, it would have been nice to have been told. A DJ showed up Around 8 with great music but the diners did not seem interested at all. Cute little place but needs improvement in the kitchen and out front. With so many options to choose from in this area, i doubt we would try this again. read more

Good looking place but the food is mediocre and oddly expensive. Even the cocktails were disappointing. Will not go back

Was looking for an Italian Restaurant to celebrate my sons birthday. After searching the web we found here. It used to be Bartholomew's or Bart's before. Our dinner was very good. Majority of items were cooked properly but all were hot and delicious. Couple little things. Calamari with sweet Thai sauce was portioned skimpy. The chicken in my Marsala was slightly overcooked where it tore more than cut. But was awesome in flavor and portion. My sons steak was more rare than the medium rare but again, delicious. The most important aspect of our visit was our waitress. She was very pleasant, on the ball, and did her job well. Although our section of the restaurant was fairly busy, she was all alone. She took care of every customer professionally, politely and perfectly. Will definitely go there again. It lists as $$ but is more like $$$. Go and enjoy! read more

Went here randomly one night and was glad I did. Food service and drinks all on point. Pasta dishes were incredible. Going back this Saturday night with larger group can't wait to try the pizza which looked amazing at the table next to us. read more

Worst experience ever!!! Worst management ever!!! management cares more about turning this place into a club than they care about their customers! Emailed them 3 times and no response, they do not care about their customers experience in their restaurant, which sucks for a new business! My bf and I have been dying to come try out A Salute for weeks now since we heard about it. My bf is a lifelong Matawan resident and I just moved to the area a few months ago. We finally got reservations for date night friday night at 8:15 PM. We arrived super hungry since this was a late dinner. We were seated promptly at 8:15 at a corner table behind the bar (indoors). The hostess left us with some menu's and we did not get a waiter to our table till 8:45!!! About 10 minutes after we were seated, a waitress with a tray of drinks in her hand stopped by and asked us if we were being helped, we told her no. she said she would drop the drinks off and come right back to us to take our order. She never returned. About 20 minutes later, we asked the hostess for a waiter or waitress to please come take our order, that we had been sitting and waiting for a while now. She said she would send someone, but no one ever showed up. We had waiters and waitresses passing by us the entire time serving other customers, but no one even looked at us. We were seated right next to the door that takes you outside, so we werent very hard to miss. at about 8:45 we saw a gentlemen that looked like he could have been a manager, we asked if he worked there and if he could help us get a waiter to take our order since we have been seated for over 30 minutes now. He brought us a waiter right away and we placed our drink and food order. I asked the waiter if they had some bread he could bring us since we were starving at this point. He said yes and that he would bring some out. He then brought us our drinks and said the bread is in the oven being warmed up. Then 10 minutes later he came back and said there was no bread left. Very disappointing. When we finally got our appetizers and started to eat, the original waitress that came over to us in the beginning of the night came to our table and apologized for not taking care of us. She said she would speak to a manager to do something for us, to take care of us. We thanked her. We finished our drinks before our entrees arrived. The waiter checked on us a few times, but never refilled our drinks or asked if we wanted more drinks. We finished our meal and immediately asked for the check. When the check arrived, there was nothing to indicate that someone "took care" of us or did anything to right any of the wrongs we experienced this night. We paid our bill and left. I stopped my bf more than 3 times from getting up and leaving for the lack of service we received. He wanted to leave the entire time we waited for someone to come take our order. This was a very disappointing experience for us since we have been dying to try out this place for so long with all the rave reviews we read online, we thought this would become our regular spot since we lived less than 5 minutes away. We do not feel like we would ever come back to dine here after the horrible night we had. It ruined our date night and im not going to lie, I left hungry. The atmosphere and the food were alright, but did not at all make up for the service. And so many broken promises from the staff all night! the worst part is we emailed the restaurant immediately the next day about this experience. No response. Resent the email a week later, still no response. they do NOT care! read more

Went back to A Salute for a second time just one week. First time we ate inside the dining room. The acoustics aren't very good in that room and a bit loud but otherwise quite quaint and lovely. The second time we were there we ate in the outside covered area. That was quite lovely also. The music was a bit loud and made it a bit difficult to have a conversation over dinner but dinner was fantastic each and every time. Love everything about this place. Looking forward to another visit hopefully soon. Love the food, love the service, love the atmosphere read more

Absolutely beautiful place however, I would not recommend. I went out to eat last night for my friends birthday and there were a few issues.. At one point our waiter suggested we get 'birthday shots' wasn't even our idea... then tells us he is going to take one with us and then proceeds to say his girlfriend, who is having a bad day apparently, is going to take one with us as well. Very unprofessional but whatever were cool young people in our 20s. Personally I would not drink on the job. We were a party of 8 so you would think we would be charged for 8 shots? Nope. There was 10 on the bill. First you suggest shots then expect us to pay for yours and your girlfriends shots? I don't think so. Extremely extremely unprofessional. I told our waiter many times I was allergic to dairy so when I ordered my salad I asked for it without cheese. They bring it out and it has cheese on it. That's fine I've worked in restaurants before mistakes happen. However they brought it back out and THERE WAS STILL CHEESE ON IT. Imagine that was someone with a serious nut allergy and they tried to just push the nuts off the plate?! That person would go into anaphylactic shock. Thankfully I was only up till 3am with stomach pains. Calamari was bland and my friends got the linguini and clam sauce which they said sucked and barely touched. I will not be returning. read more

The food was delicious! Our waiter Mark was impeccable - he was friendly, knowledgeable and made our experience so enjoyable! My friend called ahead of time stating we'd be celebrating my birthday and they made it a point to go above and beyond. We arrived to balloons tied to the chair and a personalized birthday cake with sparklers for dessert. We will definitely be back! read more

I have never written a bad review before but felt I had to for this !!!I ate here on Friday ...I ordered the shrimp parm which smelled a little fishy but it was doctored up with cheese and sauce ..took a few bites and few bites of spaghetti.. sauce not so good .. In the middle of the night woke up very sick !!!!with stomach pain and spent the next day in bed with flu like symptoms.. I was very sick for 24 hours ..The service was not good .. No one attended to us and we ordered house wine which was supposed to be $20 .. but when bill came it was $46.. and when we mentioned it to the waiter/bartender he told us ...that was the price and he said sorry cant do anything even tho I made a mistake!!! From beginning to end ..it was not a nice experience...my friends chicken Marsala was also very dry .. Too bad the place is really pretty and they put so much into the decor .. they should worry more about how they treat people .. with good food and kindness.. read more

Went to A Salute for my mom's birthday yesterday.... Find another place. Food was marginal at best. Salami on the antipasto salad was actually brown. Food was cold. Service was a disaster. EVERY table around us was complaining about the disappearing wait staff. Our server was missing for most of the dinner. Ordered drinks had to remind him twice to bring them over. Plates were never removed from the first course. Really just a mess. The kicker was when the server brought the dessert menu my mom ordered a coffee. Coffee came. No one came back for our dessert order and when we asked for cream and sugar we were informed they have no sugar. Waited 30 minutes just for the check. Don't waste your money- not worth it. read more

One of the worst places we've eaten at in recent memory. If I could give zero stars I would. The place is nice inside, but that's where it ends. Our server was a nice kid but he seemed new and at times overwhelmed. The service took forever. It was nearly an hour before we got our entrees after we ordered. The pizza tasted ok but was undercooked. The middle was mush. The calamari was tough like it sat under a heat lamp for too long. When the entrees finally arrived it didn't get much better. One person got the veal parm which was decent but their side pasta was ice cold and had to be sent back. We had to send 2 dishes of cacio e Pepe back because they came out cold. They had been left sitting long enough that the sauce had started to coagulate. We sent it back, it came back 2 minutes later lukewarm and watered down. They obviously just threw it in the pan with a bunch of pasta water and reheated. After waiting over an hour for the food to come and with a table of tiring children we decided against sending it back again. We probably just should have. It was clear this wasn't fresh pasta. One of the worst meals I've had. The manager came over and asked if we were having desserts, yea sure thanks for comping 2 lava cakes to make up for the $48 worth of reheated garbage. The "pitcher" of soda (they charged for each one) is less than 2 full glasses. For a place that claimed they were so busy that the food suffered, they sure didn't seem too focused on turning over tables. Our reservation was for 7 when we left it was about 10pm. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. None of us will be back again. read more

What a major disappointment!!! From the girl who wants to seat us at the bar when we walked in dressed up For a nice ( so we thought) dinner to the freezing corner table that she could have sat us in a better spot since the place was almost completely empty. We had two appetizers, one was the octopus that was barely okay for 25.00 and the clams which were pretty good but after that it was totally down hill. my wife ordered salmon that looked nothing like salmon at all and the first bite she didn't know what she just ate and my wife never send back anything. I had a steak which was dried out after asking for medium cooked but after sending back the salmon i just decided to try and make the best of it. Mind you we waited about 40 min after the appetizers to even get this disgusting dinner. This place is a awful!! read more

We keep coming back. Tonight we ate outside on a Thursday night. It was perfect. Everything from the food, to the service. It was beautiful out but heat lamps were provided when it got dark. Our waiter Michael was fantastic. He always made sure our drinks were full and was very accommodating to our needs. There was 10 of us and not one single complaint about the food. Octopus app was delicious. Three orders of meatballs was probably too filling because we had leftovers (their meatballs are my favorite as well as my kids, it's literally the only time they eat meat so I order a tray once a week to go!!) the halibut was amazing, so tasty and juicy. The bolognese parpadelle is my absolute fav and I always order it to share with my family as a second dish (I can't not order it !) outside was so comfortable and I loved the couches that my kids took over while we enjoyed our meal. Also, made a reservation early on Thursday thinking it wouldn't be appropriate to be there past 8pm with the kids but it was actually perfect. It wasn't too crowded outside and we left before the DJ began. read more

This place has fallen so much. It was empty on a Saturday night. Empty. Yet our service took 3 hours! The food was ok. We were seated without utensils or glasses and no-one came over to our table for about 30 min despite asking the bus boy to help us. They then left bread for our table. Party of 6 they left 2 pieces of bread. The waitress was apologetic and tried her best but it seemed like the staff was at the bar most of the time taking and having some drinks. We will not come back here. read more

The service was very slow as it took a while for someone to take drink and food orders. They seemed overwhelmed perhaps but it was not busy in the dining room at 7pm on Friday. Cocktail was good. Apps came out in seconds, entrees followed as a good time. I thought my food was very good! Better service and maybe better AC would have taken the experience up a notch. read more

A Salute Restaurant - Chicken Francaise - Italian Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Extremely, extremely unprofessional staff. Offered to buy the table birthday shots that we didn't ask for, and then drank some of those shots with our table. When we received the bill they included the 3 shots they drank on our tab! Also, needless to say they probably shouldn't be drinking on the job anyway, especially at a "high-class" establishment. What a scam, the server didn't think we would notice. If this place wants to charge the prices they do, they should focus on hiring professionals because the current staff is preposterous. Also - normally I don't take the time to write reviews because I don't typically care, BUT I created a YELP just to complain about this place because I was appalled. Food also mediocre. Don't go - point blank. read more

I hosted my 30th birthday party here and all my guests had a great time! They all complemented the service and ambiance of the restaurant. Matt the GM was so easy going and fun to work with. He really went out of his way to make sure my party was well taken care of and that it was a memorable evening. I highly recommend hosting any special event here! The staff and management were wonderful! read more

Ok, so here's the deal with this place. I just walked away from my table outside cause the service absolutely sucks and they are trying to fit too many tables in a small area and there's absolutely no room! The waiter and bus services are 100% horrendous! For an appetizer we ordered an antipasto and it was all thrown together in multiple bowls! PATHETIC! I had the chicken marsala and it was meh at best! I also ordered a bottle of Jordan and basically never got my glass! To top it off, the music being played outside was so loud that felt like I was outside at Donovan's in Sea Bright, NJ listening to a summer concert! Skip this place and just drive over to Feast in Old Bridge and/or Osteria in Malboro, NJ. read more

WILL NOT COME BACK. we recently had a less than satisfactory experience here. started with our drinks. we had to return both and have them made over correctly. we started with the pizza which was a premade cooked crust with a seriously bad tasting sauce on top. we have all had bad pizza but this was right up there with the worse pizza we have had. my wife started with an arugula salad. the arugula was yellow on the edges indicating that it was old. we grabbed the check and went a mile up the road to La Madonna and ordered our main courses there. the cement bar at this restaurant is also a huge turnoff. replace it please with some marble. you have a wonderful old church for a building. hard to believe the rest of the operation is so poor. read more

Beautiful restaurant. Made reservations on- line and they called to confirm. Arrived at 8 pm and seated promptly. Great start. Waitress introduced herself and gave us menus. However 40 min later she took our meal order. Host never stopped by our table. Food was slightly better than the service but the billing didn't match the menu and this is why I'm writing here. The menu prices were lower than the bill prices by $2-6ea. I attempted to email the restaurant to inquire but have not heard back. Curious if anyone else has experienced this. It's a shame. I had better expectations going into this. read more

Appreciate the effort and fun aesthetic of A Salute however, I was disappointed with how this 'local' spot completely ignored the current guidelines and regulations. I have not seen a bar this packed in a year. Patrons were not wearing masks and servers had to literally squeeze through the crowds of people. People were sitting at the bar, others were standing along side the bar having drinks. Cocktails were good and the food was underwhelming. Can't stress that enough as this place is pricey. There are real local Matawan restaurants who have been around for decades, struggling to adhere to regulations and keep their doors open. A Salute is a slap in the face to those establishments. We all want to get back into the swing of things as they were... but, there's a way to get there. read more

Terrible experience !! The Manager/owner Paul needs a few lessons in customer service! During dinner our party was asked to relocate after having eaten our appetizers and prior to our main course. We accommodated the restaurants request without hesitation but did ask to speak to a manager after some items were missing from our dinner order and the temperature of the food was not acceptable. Not until a second request was made did the manager make his way to our table . There was never an apology for the inconvenience or thanks for moving during your meal . Paul just piled on excuse after excuse and actually placed both hands on our dinner table and said that "We should apologize to him" Seriously !! We were told "Hey with everything going on in this world this is what your worrying about? Completely oblivious to his customers experience . This is not the type of establishment that we would return to ever!! read more

Great trendy spot. Food is great. Old church remodeled. Beautiful. Outside seating and bar. The pork chop is outstanding. Perfect date night spot. read more

Love the interior of the restaurant. It has been converted many times and originally was a church. Nice big bar area. Food was delicious and large portions. The servers were so nice though so slow and spotty coverage. As we were not in a rush we didn't mind though it would have been nicer if the service was better. read more

Restaurant and Service: Cools vibes at this place. Old church turned into restaurant. We went during a really hot week and the air conditioning was just not what it should be so it was warm in there. Music was too loud at time. Table was shaky and our chairs were partially broken. I went to sit back and almost snapped the chair. They sat us near the kitchen and there were tons of flys around our table. Although our server was nice, she wasn't great. Didn't even give us a cocktail menu. Took forever to get our drinks, she would leave us for long periods of time without checking in. After apps, we were waiting for our food for a solid 20+ minutes. Waitress didn't come once to check on us or give an update on the food. Finally flagged her down asking to check on it please. She never came back with an update but the food came about 5 minutes later. Food & Drinks: This place is wildly overpriced for what it is. For our party of 4, our bill came out to $350. If I'm spending that much, I expect a really really great dinner. Cocktails about $15 each which were just OK, no cheap wine options $12+/glass. We started with calamari and burrata with prosciutto. Calamari was just OK, burrata was solid but small portion. For entrees, we had shrimp oreganata, chicken parm, linguini clams, and cacio e pepe. Chicken breading wasn't great and tasted over cooked. Spaghetti was plated in a side dish. Sauce and pasta both lacked salt, like badly. It was so bland I was beyond disappointed. Shrimp was fine, very garlicky and small portion (3 medium size shrimp). Linguini clams was solid. The cacio e pepe didn't come with spaghetti? It was like a ravioli and there wasn't nearly enough pepper in the dish. Don't believe the menu noted this pasta choice. We didn't stick around for dessert. For the quality and service, the prices should be much lower or they need a new chef. Had higher expectations for this place but will never go back unfortunately. Advice to management: listen to these reviews and take action. There are way too many similar comments here so you know there is an issue. read more

Big disappointment. I will not return. Ever. Poor management. Also bad customer service. Bottom line a few of us sat outside at the lounge area after having dinner and drinks inside. We were asked to leave because the area was reserved. Funny how there were no signs nor did our lovely waitress suggest we may need to move for a group that reserved this particular couch. Paul, the owner personally asked us to leave the area. Seriously? Glad I know how this establishment is run. I'm so happy I did not make reservations here for my nieces graduation party. Would have been a disaster! Thank you for showing us who you are. Best of luck read more

Arrived. And attempted to order two drinks at the bar. Waited over 15 minutes. Asked for service. Was told they were dealing with table service. Finally got someone to take an order. Old fashioned and Tito's soda. Watched the bartender screw up the old Fashioned. Sat for dinner. And was never checked up on for a drink. We told the place it was a birthday they said they would come out with sparklers. We waited. Nothing. Ended up walking out. Needless to say. Fuck this place. Service. Is what I'm paying for. read more

Amazing atmosphere and service. Unfortunately, food is just genuinely not good. We've come here like 5-6 times and each time is a different experience. read more

Would go here frequently when they first opened and was great, but this place went downhill fast. The last couple of times we gave it another shot, food was horrible! Never going back! read more
