I would have given this restaurant four stars, but the interminable waiting really brought it down. We arrived at 7:30 on a Wednesday night and were told there would be 20-30 minute wait for our party of four. Which was fine -- we got ourselves a seat at the bar. But we ended up waiting over an hour and a half. The hostess did come over about halfway through the wait to tell us the table was almost ready, but this apparently was not the case. After we sat down, the waitress took our order fairly quickly , but then the appetizers didn't arrive at our table for 40 minutes. By this point, we were practically gnawing on the table. One of the appetizers was just an order of fries, so we were a little mystified as to why that took so long and why they hadn't sent it out early to placate us. If anything is going to cheer me up, it's those truffle fries! Anyway, the food ended up being very good. I'd highly recommend the fish fritters, the steak, the duck, the pumpkin soup, and of course, the fries! I really wish I had enjoyed this experience more, but unfortunately, the waiting really ruined it. It seems to me that if a restaurant isn't going to take reservations, they should really try and get their kitchen in order so that they can turn tables quickly. I'd go back to the downstairs bar for beer and fries, but I don't think I'd go back to the restaurant.
Pros: The food
Cons: The wait
