She left my sister waiting for ages until we had to phone my nephew who had gifted us for Xmas treat. We were made feel as if we had free meal and people were looking at us. Humiliating . Terrible service and meal mediocre not worth the money . Prices expensive for what you get please don’t go here . It will only waste your day !

At 5:45 I asked the bartender, who heard my conversation with the hostess, if my table was ready? She said it would be 6:30. I told her no my table is supposed to be ready. She said I failed to make a reservation. Then I found the hostess and asked her if my table was available. She said it would be around 6. At 6:10 There was never the thought of I’m sorry. I again inquired about my table to the hostess and she said it would be 6:30. I was the only person at the bar and not many people in the restaurant. I asked if I could order and eat my dinner at the bar. I was told I could only order from the limited bar menu. At 6:20 I was seated at a table that was never occupied. All of this time my waitress, the bartenders, and the hostess were 60% socializing together at the bar. These folks would not know what to do if really busy. The food was good but not outstanding and the portions very small especially for the prices. I gave my waitress a nice cash tip and asked her not to share with the hostess or the bartender.

We ordered cocktails and waited quite a long time for them. They came out just before the appetizer, but food was good. It wasn't the best meal we ever had but definitely worth the visit.
