Everything was great me and my friends had a good time here. The Dj was excellent he had a mixture of every song/genre. The only area we were a little upset about was the Photo Booth. It needs to have a screen so we are able to see ourselves before the picture actually takes.

Food was great- always is. But our service was not it. Such a shame. Everything was fine until our waiter disappeared for more than an hour and we had to ask other waiters for help. We had to get up and go ask a random worker to assist with our check and when we got up to do so our waiter finally showed face and asked if we were being helped with the bill (insinuating that we were trying to dine and dash) this was so off putting.

The music during Sunday brunch is so incredibly loud, good luck trying to have a conversation. We were a table 7 and one person's salad did not come out for over 20 minutes after everyone else received their food. Waitress shrugged and said sorry, I'm sure it will be out in another five minutes. There was no offer to discount it - by time it arrived at the table, everyone else had almost finished their meal. The lack of caring about the customer could be summed up as, "too bad deal...with it." First, and last time I will ever go here.
