It was completely flavorless and extremely dry, lacking any seasoning. Having not eaten since breakfast, we tried everything we could think of to enhance it, but it was still disappointing. We certainly won't be going back. To add to our disappointment, we ordered a lava cake, which turned out looking more like a doughnut.

I alerted two waitresses about it hiding under a table, but they did not take any action or even offer an apology.

The hostess turned us away at exactly 9 PM, and there were two couples behind us waiting in line. I'm sure the owners would be unhappy to hear about this incident. I suggest updating the hours on Google to show the correct closing time.

Great food! We waited 30 minutes to be seated, service was good! We also ordered the sampler basket, had to ask for sauces, but the basket was yummy! read more Great food!
