    First off, food was wonderful. Outside of that service was just not that great , our server disappeared several times for long périods of time. Entire staff really had zero sense of urgency and there was a lot of loud personal business discussed amongst themselves for all to hear. Drink refills were extremely slow or forgotten about a few times. And then we see why...auto 20% gratuity regardless of party size. As a former server this would have made life a lot easier for budgeting but as a customer it's off putting especially when the service is lackluster.
