Waitress kept getting lost and then really couldn’t cash out cause she was doing karaoke. I can see more dishonest people being able to run out on the bill because I really should have to look for my waitress then find her only because it was her turn to sing then wait for my waitress to finish singing to take care of the check. I had to get up find her to order more drinks and to take care of my bill. Other than that it was a good night.
