    The appetizer was so bad that we left and went somewhere else for dinner. It was that bad. Also, beware they advertise Happy Hour prices in the menu for drinks but when the bill came they said those prices are only if you sit at the actual bar. Which is either false advertising or a flat out lie and a way to fraud customers. Avoid this place at all costs. I would not recommend this anyone. So, so disappointed. Go to MILA instead.

    Dear Steven, Thank you for bringing all of this to our attention. We strive to provide excellent service and food to all our guests and regret that we did not meet your expectations on your recent visit.
