My family loves this place and the food is great. They do, however, seem incapable of accommodating large parties (8 or more). Twice we've gone in a large group and even with a reservation (once), we've been squished to the point that it's uncomfortable. It was like a game where they wanted to see who could fit the most people on the least amount of table space. Both times our chairs were all touching and there was barely room for all of our plates. Service is hit or miss. I don't like when our food is all misplaced and our drink glasses go empty. Again, big party problems but great for bonding. We just passed our remaining drink cups around our squished tables (no worries we were all close by) until our waiter showed up again. I would be more forgiving of these shortcomings if we weren't paying $20+ a plate.

Dinner, lunch, and brunch with smaller parties are a lot more comfortable and the server even seems happier and likes us better. So go in small parties. The food is always good but the service and human to table ratio are better that way.
