    Food was not bad, but service was bad from the host to the server… I waited more than an hour for a table that’s been open for more than one hour, made no sense. If you choose the buffet style, either the servers are stretch too thin or on purpose they bring the items out slowly to you.

    A favorite, but made even more special by our server Arnold. We’ve been here many times, and it is always great. But he made it exceptional this evening! Highly recommend.

    I had high hopes for a memorable birthday celebration with a friend as a group of 8, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. It took over 30 minutes just to get water, and when our meals finally arrived, they were incorrect. Even after we told the waitstaff, they continued to bring out the wrong order. The waitstaff also made a mistake on the bill, which led to an awkward moment when the manager chased us down for additional tip money. What should have been a relaxing and enjoyable evening turned out to be stressful and disappointing.

    The food and service was great per usual! The only thing that was a little off that didn’t make this a 10/10 experience was for some reason my reservation for 7:00pm was changed without my doing at 6:55pm to 7:30pm and I’m not sure why. I expressed this to the employee up front and she made sure to get us a table which I very much appreciated. Not sure why the reservation was changed without my knowledge but maybe I’m missing something! Of course I will be going again though!
