Initially I loved the atmosphere. It is decorated nicely with a nice atmosphere. The problem is there defintly IS NOT enough service help. There was only one bartender for a large bar plus a number of high tops plus another section of stools that face the music. It was impossible for one person to handle all of this. The result was my food was delivered and my friends came out 10-15 min later. My food was barely warm. I was never offered salt, pepper and cheese and had to wait till I could get the attention of the bartender. We had to ask for everything from more water, our check etc., etc. This was not the bartenders fault. It was just impossible to handle such a large space with so many customers. And the bartender did offer to take back my plate to warm it but by the time Iwas able to tell her that my food was barely warm was when she was delivering my friends food and by that time my meal was almost half gone and I had to wait so long to get it initially, I was starving so I declined. They need to hire more help. I m not sure if I will return. I do love Valentis though which is owned by the same people.
