"Service to our table of 8 was poor. The waiting staff looked frazzled and did not engage with the patrons at our table or other tables. One waiter was rude in his delivery. When it came time to pay the bill it had a $28 overcharge that was only picked up with careful scrutiny and was in fact $2.50?! Not sure how they got $28. The rude waiter was overly intrusive about the bill. The waiting time.."

"Given that it was Valentines Day and the restaurant was packed out, there was not enough staff on duty and my husband and i waited an hour for our dinner. The food was tasteless. We will not be visiting this restaurant again." more reviews

The rude waiter was overly intrusive about the bill. The waiting time was excessive. I have dined at this restaurant before some time ago and it was impeccable. The standards have definitely dropped.

Given that it was Valentines Day and the restaurant was packed out, there was not enough staff on duty and my husband and i waited an hour for our dinner. The food was tasteless. We will not be visiting this restaurant again. (February, 2008)
