Been there many times. Bosses were off and so was the meal. Unfortunately, it was a business meal and it did not impress Appeared to be short staffed due to a party upstairs

Thank you Marty for the review and the feedback. Having the party on the 2nd floor should have not impacted your dining experience so I will looking into this. I appreciate you sending this over to us. Have a great day, Kevin

We got there for a Valentines Dinner on time. The service was slow. They brought out the wrong dish for me. I had find someone to bring out the correct order. Afte a longer wait, the food came out cold. It took three hours to complete dinner. All for $248.00 for two people. Nobody came over to even offer an apology.

The service was awful. Waiter got my order wrong and took along time to do anything. Got busy later but the restaurant was almost empty when I got there therefore there was no reason for dinner to take 2 1/2 hours. The whole restaurant seemed disorganized. Food was fair at best. Octopus was hard and tough to to chew. Too bad because the place is very nice and convenient. I will not eat there again.
