   The service here is always pretty terrible. They are not super accommodating with prior requests such as high chairs and boosters. It seems that the staff lacks experience.

   Was good until I left a gift under the table. Called to see if they could hold it and they said it wasn’t there. Basically they stole a real nice bottle of tequila that was given to me.

   Our server didnt do anything cool. The majority of my party it was their first time there and it was honestly a disappointment. The food wasnt really seasoned very bland and the chef didnt stick to giving people what they ordered he was adding it all plates. The server was also subpar. She wasnt attentive to the table. Our drinks remained empty way too long. We ordered edamame and it was still FROZEN! We asked for spicy mayo and got it so late the food wasnt almost done.. i expected wayyy more.
