"We enjoyed the food, but did not like having to cook our own meats. We had a new server and she did not have the oil to the optimum temperature, and thus some of our meats were undercooked for the first few times despite following the suggested times. If we had one of the other servers this would have been a much better dining experience.

Overall the food was great, especially the dessert course :)"
