I would love to give this restaurant 5 stars across the board however my most recent visit was probably my last. I came in at a quarter to 5 as a party of two, was asked by the hostesses if I had reservations and when she learned I didn't, she said that she said she couldn't seat us, that preference was given to those with reservations. When I persisted, having never needed a reservation in the past, she said could seat us at the bar. Not a table though, that the tables were only for people with reservations. She was rude and condescending. My mother is 73, I couldn't imagine her enjoying an expensive dinner perched atop a tall bar chair. We begrudgingly agreed and were sat with an attitude at the bar. We ordered a drink and I hopped online to make a reservation for 45 minutes later. The tables in the bar sat unused while we waited for our reserved time. When we were seated we noticed half a dozen empty tables in the main dining room and when we left there were still three that had sat empty the whole time. The bartender, Melissa, was phenomenal though. She had a great attitude, provided exceptional service and mixes a mean margarita. The food and atmosphere are good if you can get past the hostess stand.

Its not the cleanest parking lot. There is a Vietnamese restaurant in this center that has a good Ban Mi sandwich.
