    We sat for 30 minutes without service, then we're told to sit in the sitting area because they couldn't sit a table of 6. When we asked how to order, everyone was incredibly rude. Won't be back here.

    Service is terrible; extremely slow and rude. The food, however, is quite tasty. Make sure you have plenty of time to wait because they are short staffed.
