    Unfortunately this visit was horrible, also it happened to be Mothers Day. It was a first time for my Mom. The service was very bad, the waitress disappeared several times which resulted in our order being taken about 45 minutes after arrival. Also they made a mistake with the order and one of the meals came out 15min before everyone else order plus the food was not hot. When the food did arrive after a hour wait everyone food was cold. Only one of us decided to wait 15 more minutes for another order. Overall not a great experience at all for a party of 7 and a $489 bill with no drinks.
