    The food was delicious. The people coming by with meat was frequent. My only problem was with the actual server. Apart from taking the order and dropping off a glass of wine, he never came to the table. It was weird because everyone was standing in a group maybe 7 feet away from the table talking to each other. The meat offerings always came and were prompt, but the actual checking in on beverages or how the experience is going didnt happen.

    Andy, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the cuts and the Market Table, and we appreciate the note about limited check-ins at your table. A Manager may be reaching out to learn more so we can review this with our team. Warm Regards

    Although I have been to this restaurant many times and always had a terrific experience, yesterday's dinner was a horror show. Started with us having to wait for a table for 20 minutes past our reservation time. Spotty service, ultra long waits for water , drinks and appetizers. Horrible service during the meal, they forgot to bring food, the second bottle of sparkling took 12 minutes on the clock. Our business meal was a very important dinner, which the restaurant managed to ruin

    Alexander, thank you for sharing this. We understand your dinner was important, and your notes about timing, service, and missed items are concerning to read. Our team aims for attentive hospitality and efficiency. A Manager may be reaching out to learn more so we can follow up appropriately. Thank you.
