    This visit was not much better than last. No host around, had to seat ourselves, food was prepared incorrectly and had to remake it. The bartender was good though. Not up to standards with the other locations we visit in Texas.

    Our service was utterly disappointing! There were a sufficient number of servers, however their level of attention was, at least for our table, non-existent. The restaurant was not particularly busy, so I am uncertain as to why this occurred. We have been regular patrons since the New Orleans location opened, but it will be a long time before we return. Our emails were OK, not special.

    I’ve always enjoyed dining here, but my experience last night was disappointing. Firstly, the service was notably slow, which was surprising given my previous visits. It felt like an eternity before our orders were taken and even longer for the food to arrive. Moreover, the restaurant was uncomfortably cold, detracting from the overall ambiance that I usually enjoy. As for the food, there were some highlights—my salad was fresh, which I appreciated. However, my pizza was undercooked and dessert arrived cold and hard. It’s disheartening to see a favorite spot falter, and I hope they can address these issues soon.

    The server was really good. Unfortunately, they were out of a total of four things we ordered. I understand that they’re a scratch kitchen, but had we known these things were out beforehand, we would have went elsewhere. Additionally, they wait until all the food is done, which means I watched my plate sit on the counter for 20 minutes and by time it got to me, it was cold.
