Everything was going great until the waiter found out that we would potentially not be eating as much as we originally thought because we got there late. The waiter was extremely rude, wouldn't check in with us, and we had to then order with the busboys. The mac and cheese was amazing. We would love to go back but only if we get a different server. We spent almost $300 for two drinks, mac and cheese with bread only to feel second class.
