The food was delicious as always. The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars this time was our server. She barely paid any attention to us the whole time and was even staring at the tv while we were giving our orders. My daughter asked for sprite but since she wasn’t paying attention, the server brought her water. Her name was Kim. We’ve never had this issue there before. But at least the food was amazing as always!!
