We had a private party here yesterday. The service was terrible. The food was ruined with salt and the portions looked like they split them in two.
They clearly could not handle a private event. They skipped on some of the things that were paid for. They leave the room for 30 min at a time. It was a mess. It was so tight in the room you cannot even stand up. Or get out of your chair. I’m sorry but they need an overhaul.

It was a hot mess! Waited 15 mins then I realized it was going to be bad experience. I guess it’s best to make reservation.

A very disgusting experience🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
