The service was awful, servers were on their phones the entire time I was there, I was spoken to once for my order and that was it. I clearly left most of my food on the plate as I didn’t enjoy it but even when the bill was brought no attention or question about me barely touching my food was made. The crab Rangoon were awful.

I couldn’t wait to get the soup to balance out the spiciness on my pallet, but when I tasted it, it didn’t seem like there was any salt added, which made it just taste bland and spicy. Also, the menu did not indicate anything was going to be spicy. So before you order, just ask if it’s going to be spicy if you can’t handle it. On the flipside, the drinks were really good! I had the purple pucker, which was amazing! My hubby had the Mrs. Brightside, which he seemed to enjoy a lot. Overall, the money we spent in there, I could’ve gotten a bang for my buck somewhere else and spent less money for better .

I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.
