    Pros: Reservations easy to make. Restaurant was beautifully decorated. Hostess was friendly and gave excellent service. Two of three food orders were tasty and a good price. Cons: food service long wait. Waitress didn’t provide my beverage but provided the others at my table. I had to reorder when food order taken. Salmon entree had bones and was not warm and accompanied with green beans that were very stringy. Manager said he would comp out but the bill had no subtraction which required an additional query. Overall: ok place for someone who likes to linger, maybe bring a book! Will not return.

    Beef tenderloin undercooked. Had to send back and waited 15 mins more for a new piece cooked the way I asked. My daughter found a piece of plastic in her Korean glass noodle entree. Waitress didn’t come to check on our table as often as a she should have. Some of our dirty dishes weren’t cleared from the table during our dinner. Food is overpriced here. The Duo combinations dinners do not save you money. I would not eat here again.
