   The food was good, better than expected. I'm not sure if the waiter was overwhelmed, he kept forgetting our request to the point we got tired of asking. He spilled water and never thought to wipe it up we did it ourselves. The table was sticky as if it was not cleaned properly. Instead of complaining we wet a napkin and wiped the sticky areas ourselves.

   Food quality has declined over time. It was okay but not great. Chicken sandwich was served on what looked like Texas toast vs a good bun. Fries seemed a little sad. Even garnish of carrots were sad.

   Really loud, my broccolini was barely cooked and knife resistant. My wife said the Cole slaw was bland. Overall tried it once, don’t know if we will be back.

   We were very disappointed in our dinner here. There was actually no need for a reservation because there were many tables open. This place is definitely more of a bar than a restaurant. The food is sub-par but edible. A number of young wait staff gathered together at a side wait stand close to where we were sitting, talking loudly about this weekend plans. An older manager had to come over and break up the conversation telling them to go check on their tables. The restrooms were very clean at the time we arrived which is really the only nice thing I can comment. We will not be visiting here again.

   I was visiting from the west coast, had never eaten here and wanted to play it safe so i made a reservation. It wasn’t crowded so a reservation wasn’t really necessary. We were there on a weekday afternoon. I imagine it gets busy on weekends and at night. Food was good as was the service. Would definitely return when I’m in town again

   We LOVED the whipped feta dip, it was incredible...asked for more bread to dip and they were very accommodating to us. The service by Tatiana was also amazing during a time the restaurant was packed. Very nice to my 7 year old and the bartenders made a very good shirley temple for him.

   I’ve ordered the General Tsu’s Chicken many times in the past. Tonight the broccoli was overcooked, black and greasy. Destroyed the entire meal.

    We had great service and the food was delicious. Prices are still decent. It's a very loud atmosphere because they play the music entirely too loud. We checked off that we were celebrating a birthday on our reservation and we never had it mentioned during our entire visit so I guess that was pointless haha. Would've been nice to see what desserts were available to celebrate.
