The appetizer was a bit greasy The main courses were excellent. The waiter was slow I don’t think he liked that we were using our opentable bonus award.

They offer an open menu which lets you build your own meal, selecting whether you want a salad or not, which type of salad, what dressing, then which entrée, what type of sauce, and finally add any number of sides. All prices were clearly spelled out allowed us to completely control our meal to a budget. The only down side was the cocktails were slightly expensive and we did not know we ordered a premium liquor. The staff are very friendly and service was excellent.

It was a quite chaotic night as the they were down a hostess and a server. We were seated promptly but then nothing. No napkins, no silverware, no water, no order. We we finally ordered drinks, it took reminders to check on them. The drinks came back very watered down. I would have appreciated a small gesture to try to make things right but it never came. The management must have been very preoccupied but should have taken time to visit each table that was impacted by the short staff. The food was excellent once it was finally served. I will go back as I am sure this was just a blip, but a blip the management team did not handle well.
