Was kept waiting for drinks. Food was served late. Other people who came after us were already eating before us. Waitress was serving other people and ignored us and had a bad attitude. Made reservation for Birthday and it was totally ignored at dinner.

Had a wonderful meal and excellent service! The server was friendly and courteous. We received our drinks and food in a nice order and did not feel rushed, which to me is something that is lacking in a lot of restaurants. They don’t let you enjoy your meal and make you feel rushed. Will definitely return in the future.

I'd made reservations for 6:30pm. Tell why, when I get there the restaurant it was close. It shouldn't have let me make reservations if the restaurant is close.
