    Extensive wait for anything. Poor table service, first visit to the table and the waiter didn't even take the drink order for half of our table OR even acknowledge us. Meals were sub par, DEFINATELY not worth the $200 for 4 meals. Our plates sat on the table after we were finished for over 30 minutes before I waved down someone to ask them to be removed and asked to see a desert tray. Ordered dessert, and DID order the shark fin brownie thingy, were told by server it would be 20 minutes extra time for that one, at 40 minutes called the manager over and he said it normally takes 30 minutes for that dessert. THAT dessert was delish, bummer it was at the end of the meal. We also ordered what we THOUGHT was Creme Brulee, however, they make their Brulee with a chocolate pudding....we weren't told that with the presentation of the desert tray - just that it was Creme Brulee.....so, while it wasn't BAD, that part of our group didn't want a chocolate dessert. Manager ended up comping the desserts, but by then, the whole experience/food didn't match the $200 price tag. It was a birthday and graduation dinner, so, kind of a bummer, but, will go celebrate again somewhere else. Maybe a bad night, but either way, we won't be back.

    The food really isn't great. We knew that going in but I was disappointed. The kids had a great time though and they brought out a cupcake for my daughter's birthday. Burger was decent and greek salad good.

    We took our 3 grandchildren for lunch. The food was good and the children’s porions were larger than expected. Prices a little high. Our waiter was great and very attentive.

    If you are in a hurry in any way do not dine here. After 20 minutes we received a server and then another 1 hour to get the food. This was not a busy time either. Overall, food was good but kids mac n cheese has no real cheese at all.

    Chair had large gelatinous spill that I put my hand in, luckily I didn’t sit down. Staff wiped it with paper towel leaving an oily spot. Eventually the server saw me standing looking around and offered me another chair. The kitchen was slow, server seemed helpless. Kids meals were very nice value and all three enjoyed it. Husband’s chicken sandwich was great. I had the ahi tuna bowl, ahi tuna was not a great texture and there was a puddle of soy sauce that absorbed into the rice making it too salty.
