Jen MoshJune 8, 2017Service is terrible. Eye rolls from waitress when u ask 4 anything.Ever head of service w. a smile..it wouldn't kill you. Food was also not great.. definitely won't be on my list of places 2 return 2.
Lenny GalloFebruary 10, 2024Food is okay. A little on the bland side. Stick to the standards on the menu.
Speak loudly and clearly to the waiter. He made fun of me when he couldn't hear me.
