    The service during our visit was disappointing. Our server was not attentive and appeared to be having a bad day, which affected the overall experience. What really shocked me was when another server placed my leftovers—already bagged—on the floor. I even asked him, “Why did you put the bag on the floor?” For a bill that totaled over $130, I expect much better treatment. It was unacceptable to have my food placed on the ground in a brown paper bag.

    Took the family out to dinner around 7pm. Our waiter was clearly struggling to manage his tables. Drinks were very watery by the time he retrieved them from the bar. He seemed to spend a lot of time on a screen entering things and/or correcting them. Not sure. Overall, very mediocre dinner experience. I did appreciate the manager welcoming us as we walked in, but outside of that it is tough to find much to be excited about from our meal.
