The thing I didn't like was I made a reservation for 11/02. I called the to add one more person on the reservation to be told its ok I don't have to pay to add another person. They no longer take reservations. I said ok cool. But two of my guest didn't show and the still took the money from my deposit. I asked why if you no longer take reservations. They said they still had to take it. It was BS. Plus some of our food was cold but other than that it was ok.
