Recent Reviews
Food is decent but service is terrible and I was very put off by the hidden 20% service charge for our 2 party table and the waitress standing there waiting for me to sign. I typically tip well but feel service workers should get a living wage and the restaurant should not charge a separate service charge.

Food is good but prices went up high and customer service is not that satisfying . Attitude alert. Most of them don't speak English. Also they charge you 20% service fee then ask you for additional tip, that seems like a rip off. They never have specials going on or chef's dish of the day nothing like that . Same old menu from I don't know how many years.

Decent food, the place is nice and cozy, a little hard to spot because of its location, the meat stew was really good, the fried steak was a little hard for my taste but, overall a good place.
