Flakey Service

Average Rating

60

Had a party of 8. They tried to sit us in the back by the kitchen in a table built for 6 with no AC on. We moved ourselves. We were a bit loud and the crowd that's drawn here is more your blue haired condo commando's that expect a hush hush no talking dinner. The service was spotty. Our waiter disappeared after our main dishes came and I had to go find him to get the bill.

Prices are average but then again so was the food.

Cons

- Blue hairs
