    I did enjoy my experience at restaurant, but something’s were off. Being ignored is a problem for me. Or it could’ve been a mishap we never know. We did not receive our drinks until after we were finished eating. Our waitress probably had too many tables but we don’t know. Thank goodness we had the water when we were first seated. We also got up and asked another person if we can get two orders of sprite. Our waitress did apologize.

    The entertainment was very loud, where you could hear conversations or them calling your name while you were waiting. I asked for bread and the dip that they give was a bowl of oil.
