The food was great, service was pretty much non existent. The staff seems to not make eye contact with customers, they just glaze over people. You literally have to raise your hand to get someone's attention. No one comes by to ask if you need anything, like even water, or how the food is. Needless to say, we won't be going back. The food is great but it's the same at the Tysons location and the service and ambiance is much better. We will stick with that location.
