The owner called the police because we chose not to eat there. We ordered the food and canceled within two minutes because in the review, we read that the owner was racist, so we exercised our right not to support a racist business. The police came and spoke with him; then they turned to us and said it’s our right if we didn't want to eat there. We said thank you, officer, and walked away. Additionally, we never drink or eat anything, we were in or out under 5 minutes.

This place is an absolute disaster. My husband and I waited over an hour and a half for our food. First, they brought us a beef salad instead of the steaks we ordered. Then, when the steaks finally arrived, they were completely wrong — we asked for well-done, and they came out bloody. On top of that, we were forced to pay for everything. The owner was unbelievably rude and had zero sense of customer service. Avoid this awful restaurant at all costs.

We went in today I went to use the bathroom while my cousin sat down at our table and the owner asked me if I wanted to use the bathroom or eat as if I couldn’t do both. The waitress had to get permission to serve us tapwater that we requested. We ate our appetizer calamari (with cold marinara sauce) and when they brought out what was supposed to be paella we both tried to bite into the food and the rice was extremely undercooked and hard. The owner never offered to correct it just told us it should be hard because it was risotto not rice (I’ve never had hard risotto) he became very argumentative told the waitress she was not allowed to talk to us and it got to the point where the police had to be called he accused of ordering to use the bathroom then cancelling. If I could have given zero stars I would have.

Food wasn’t that great but our server Svetlana was amazing as she made sure we had a good time and served us well. She made really good cocktails but food needs improvement.

Fettuccine Alfredo is good for me. I finished it but forgot to take a picture.. The fried calamari is also good. The owner and waitress are friendly.

Extremely racist owner. 0/5 — If I could give this place zero stars, I absolutely would.

From the moment we walked in, we were treated with suspicion. Our group of five was racially profiled while we waited for everyone to arrive. After we placed our orders, the owner came and demanded we pay before our food was even cooked. When we asked why, he said it was because we were a ā€œbig groupā€ā€¦ five people? Really?

We noticed other tables and some with larger parties were not asked to prepay. When we decided we no longer felt comfortable and said we wanted to cancel the order and leave, he returned the card he had already taken and said, ā€œI trust you.ā€ Then added something along the lines of, ā€œPeople come here and eat and leave without paying.ā€ That comment made it even clearer that he had made assumptions about us and not others from the moment we walked in.

This wasn’t just bad service. It was targeted, discriminatory behavior. No one should feel uncomfortable or unwelcome when simply trying to enjoy a meal. We took our business elsewhere to a place that treats all customers with dignity and respect. I strongly encourage others to think twice before supporting a business that operates like this.

Went here to get a happy hour margarita. It was empty and I wanted to leave so I asked her for them to go. Instead of just filling our drinks up she said this is all I get because I’m taking it to go because my cups are not the same size as the to go cups. That’s cheap. Fine dining? No, actually mediocre.
