Booked and paid deposit month in advance. Get there nothing is prepared as agreed to on the phone, no one was there. Doesn't look nothing like the pictures on the Internet or social media pages. The complimentary champagne tasted flat. Didn't even take. Requesting a refund. Will never recommend.

0/5 recommend. this place is a catfish They have plastic utensils wrapped in one napkin to share. The food is terrible overpriced and unseasoned. Not worth it at all. Servers were nice but that’s the nicest thing I can say about this place.

0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND Most of my party did not receive drinks after an hour. My date and I were the only ones who received our drinks and it was 30 minutes of waiting. My date ordered a soda and got a room temp canned soda, no ice. We had to ask for a cup of ice and the waitress had an attitude. The dinnerware was dirty. The Philly cheesecake egg rolls were luke warm. We asked for buffalo sauce for the shrimp we ordered and never got it. We asked for extra napkins and never got them. One of the managers was busy smoking hookah and recording for their IG page that he didn’t hear us calling him over to our table (he was at the table next to us). We didn’t receive our drink order until we complained and were about to walk out. And then only 2 of our drinks came. POOR customer service!!!!! The worst experience EVER. I WILL NEVER BE BACK.
