    Took a mother's day Reservation 1 week before. I confirmed the reservation the day before. We get there and noone is in the front of the house to seat us and there is a sign on a post that says "seat yourself". A complete failure. Don't trust any reservation you make for this place.

    Horrible place, bad service. Food was soggy and expensive. Beer warm. They didn’t want to honor the reservation either cause they were busy for the Worldcup. Had to wait over an hour for our table and no compensation was offered. The manager just said: Sorry my man, nothing I can do!! Will never return
