    We visited this restaurant for a special Mother’s Day dinner with family. From the moment we arrived, something felt off. The guide server who showed us to our table around 5 PM looked irritated and unwelcoming. Thankfully, our table-server was very friendly, which was the one good part of the evening. We ordered a variety of dishes, and while the starters came out on time, the soup was served without a spoon. We waited quite a while but no one checked on our table, so I had to get up and ask a server myself. As for the food—unfortunately, it was very disappointing. We tried five different items from the menu, and none of them were enjoyable. Honestly, Burger King would have been a better choice. My wife said she wouldn’t want to come back, and I completely agree. Tips? I really didn't want to give it to you, but I gave it to you 18%. Next time, we’ll just go to Fatburger.

    Arrived on time for 7 PM reservation, was seated outside in weather not suitable for it. Took over 1 hour to get our first drinks. Food was 1.5 hours. Terrible experience.
