    It was not at all what I expected; the restaurant was boisterous for a Sunday afternoon. The waitress seemed to be rushing us, we had to ask for serving plates and additional napkins. The food was ok, my aunt ordered a steak and barely touched it, the food was subpar, not sure if management has changed, but we were very disappointed.

    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.
