    At first the night started off good the waitress was very respectful but I can’t really say the same for the manager or the cook we specifically told the man there’s a shellfish and a mushroom allergy the guy comes out to confirm and still proceeded to cross contaminate the mushrooms with the food then the manager wasn’t to friendly and had no mannerism what so ever over all if you have a allergy don’t come here they’ll try and Lace you

    We did have to wait half an hour for our table even with our reservation. We understand one can’t guarantee immediate seating, but 30 minutes is poor management with a reserved table policy.
