    Poor service: this was the first time my service was not the quality that I am used to receiving from Rye Street. My server was less than attentative, we had to seek her out a couple times. Definately not 20% tip service, which is the tip automatically added to the bill.

    Food was terrible, service was so slow we were worried we would be towed from the small parking lot. Not recommended. Our disappointment was immeasurable.

    We loved this place and our food was great! A little loud, but not bothersome to us in our late 20’s
