Disappointed overall. We had a party of 6 so gratuity was included automatically regardless of the quality of service.

Came on Sunday night, wasn’t even busy at all. I ordered rib eye steak and didn’t get it until our entire meal was done. I assume they didn’t put the order in but the server came to us two times and kept telling us sorry it will be ready very soon but didn’t come out until one hour later.

The Korean BBQ Ribs were good, the Moani Special Fired Rice was delicious, but the French Fries lacked seasoning. Service was great as well as the ambience. Had the food not cooled so quickly and the fries properly seasoned, then it would have been a significantly better experience.
