    I had an unpleasant experience. I left a $20 tip on a 200$ bill, considering it a reasonable amount. However, the waiter came back to my table, pointed out that tips in the United States are expected to be at least 20%, and circled the recommended tips section on the receipt, indicating that I should fill in a larger amount in the tips section, with a disrespectful attitude. He wanted to pressure me into leaving a bigger tip, which is very unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable. I do not recommend this restaurant due to this experience, which completely ruined what could have been a pleasant meal.

    Flew my in-laws in from Texas to celebrate my bday. From the start it was a horrible experience. They gave us a tiny table in the corner where no one wanted to be seated. Then the server took more than 10 mins to come around, without water and with cold bread after 15 minutes. They didn’t have the vintage of wine that was written on the menu, they messed up my mother-in-law’s steak (twice) and the Cajun ribeye just tasted like one big hunk of meat without much flavor.
