“The food was genuinely very good, especially the fries, but the service was disappointing. Unfortunately, I can’t even tell you our server’s name because she never introduced herself. She gave us a very minimal greeting, quickly took our drink and food orders, and brought out our appetizers, but never checked to see how anything was. She came back to clear the empty baskets and said she would return with drink refills, but that took around 10 minutes. When she brought out our meals, the only thing she said was reciting the orders out loud because she didn’t remember who had ordered what. She placed the plates based on that and walked away without checking in or saying anything else. She didn’t return to check on us for about 12 minutes, and by then we were almost finished eating. I had even waited to finish my fries so I could ask for ketchup, but we couldn’t get her attention. It’s unfortunate because the food was really enjoyable. With more attentive and engaged service, this could have been a much better dining experience.“

“I don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. Extremely crowded. The floor was covered in spilled drinks. Nowhere to sit or put a coat. The line at the bar was long. The music was so loud we couldn't hear anyone. There were three stalls in the women's room - one had no door at all, and one had a door that wouldn't close. You can't watch anyone ride the bull as it is hidden in the back corner. This place is a waste of time.“
