The noise level we experienced may have been lower than normal given that we were there well after the normal dinner hour. Our meal was great because we were able to order light, but filling fare. The cucumber salad was great, as were the sweet potato fries. The tuna poke bowl was also fresh and well presented. We already talked about returning for a full menu meal. We are pescatarian and there were a number of menu options for us.

Our waitress was terrible, we had to ask a manager for service at our table of 10 after sitting for 50 minutes. When the food came out, several food and drink orders were incorrect and the waitress said “What do you want me to do about it?” No apology, no attempt for good customer service. She acted annoyed we were there and I’m sad she received the automatic 20% tip they added for the big party.

We went there before we went to the Warner theater. It is literally steps away around the corner. Cheesesteak eggrolls are delicious, salmon was great, lobster bisque was wonderful. Our server was the best.

Waitress forgot to put in our order. Never apologized, and if the GM didn’t take over our table, we may have never got our food.

Service was pretty bad. Golf on every TV, no diversity in sport selection. The mandatory 5% not-a-tip was the cherry on top. Just apply it to the food prices and pay your staff a Proper wage.
