    It may have been an off night to be fair. However, from the seating we had concerns. They were only confirmed throughout the meal. Service was slow, no follow up. Food was bland and overcooked. Based on ratings we expected a great meal. Far from it. The staff did remove the food charges. Greatly appreciated.
