    Bathroom was disgusting. No toilet paper. I told the hostess and then went back at the end of the meal. Still no paper. Puddles and mess. Service was lousy, never got refills of water, had to stand up and go looking for the waiter to pay and leave. Ambiance is great, food is solid. It’s an old favorite
