Salmon nachos were too salty. Nacho/wontons didn’t hold the toppings well. Very mediocre.

Overall, it was great. My only slight criticism is that I had to ask for condiments, such as sugar, for my coffee and ketchup for my fries, and that was the worst. You are doing great. The server was excellent as well.
