I told 2 waitresses that it was still under a table in the room and no one did anything or even apologized. They said they told the chef because he “deals with those things” which makes it seem like this is not the first time this has happened. So gross and scary.

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. We spent $60, including the tip, and in this time of tight budgets, we expected a restaurant to put in more effort to offer good value for our money. Unfortunately, that was not the case here.

I alerted two waitresses about it hiding under a table, but they did not take any action or even offer an apology. They said they had informed the chef because he "deals with those matters," which suggested that this isn't a one-time occurrence. It was truly disgusting and disturbing.
