    The server was very helpful. The soup was warm, and would be best served hot. It was still tasty. Overall, a good experience.

    Waitress was occupied with apparent friends or family members, thus we waited 15 minutes before she came back to take our order. Scallops were just barely warm and the fries my wife ordered were stone cold. Seems to be a process issue, as there were only a handful of customers dining at that time. Can’t imagine what the experience would be if they were much busier. Not good.

    Thank you, Gary, for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize that your visit did not meet expectations. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we are addressing the issues you mentioned with our team to ensure better service and food quality moving forward. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to improve and hope we have the chance to welcome you back for a much better experience in the future.
