    Disappointed. We’ve been before and it was great. But this time, the server had trouble entering the order in the machine. And the food was just…meh. Not worth the $40 per person - food/drinks.

    The food is very good. Love the ambiance! A little loud and a little slow in service. Will give it another try!
