    The grill wasn’t working properly. I spoke to the manager about the issue and she stated that because the location is an older model there was nothing she could do. This was the worst experience I’ve had.

    Service was just okay. I’m assuming it’s because we were AA. We still left a 20% tip despite the subpar service. The service did make a great suggestion for food and I use to be a server.

    My experience wasn't that great, initially it started very good. The food was great, the service was pretty good. But towards the end it was not explained that each item after all the items brought out would be a charge. I got my bill and a meal that was supposed to be $95, end up being 191 with extra charges. And on top of that I left my leftovers and did not get a chance to go back and get them. When I went back they had thrown them away.

    Always enjoyed this place but the grills were not working properly. Service was good but there seems to be a need of restoration to get back to where it one time was.
