    Server could’ve checked on our table more regularly. Staff was not efficient at clearing plates when we were done. Food was generally average. Nothing stood out. I believe I went for dinner once and perhaps the menu was a bit different as the food was better then. Unless the menu has changed. We ordered the whole fish and we made it clear we were sharing everything and it didn’t come with serving utensils.

    Service was horrible. We were there three hours no one ever came to check our tables. We finally had to ask for a manager to come and take care of our table. They served us our food before the appetizers. The manager tried to make it right but the servers they couldn’t make it right.
