    Dined on May 21, 2025
    We ordered the Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream desert to go and the Ice cream was not in our bag. The manager informed us once I got home and called that the ice cream has no preservative and would have melted once we got home and that's why it wasn't there. But they still charged me for it and never told us at the restaurant that this might happen.
