    En general, el costo no representa el valor. El servicio de la mesera fue bueno y la comida no mala. Sin embargo, fue un servicio extremadamente lento, no tenían la comida que ofrecían del menú, y los costos por la noche de año nuevo no eran claros (Los 50 USDS por persona por la música no era claro, cobraban 20% de servicio sobre esa cantidad y no era opcional, ni de un valor de 50 dólares por persona). Más caro del valor de lo que fue.

    New Year's Eve was falsely advertised. There was no jazz music after dinner for everyone. Just the later reservations. The food was just mediocre. Not one course was better than average.

    Mediocre at best. If you offer a special price fixe Christmas Day lunch, something needs to be special. Grossly under staffed. NOT worth the price tag.

    The waiter was friendly but new and made several mistakes. Our entrees came out before our drinks and our appetizers. I adamantly said “no nuts” and my dish had walnuts sprinkled all over it. My hubby ordered gluten-free pasta and received regular pasta. They mistakenly brought the large apps (4 pcs) and we were assured they would only charge us for the 2-pc, but the bill was wrong. Lots of mistakes and it was frustrating.
