Usually get an entree, fill up on soup and salad and get a take out box, but my prior visit I didn't get my salad until after the entree arrived. Didn't come back for a while, but when I did, I stood waiting to be seated for so long that I left. Will not be back.

Food was great. Service was amazing.
OWNER! when it’s 31 degrees outside please turn the AC on. Don’t skimp because it’s expensive. I could tell that me and other customers were dying of heat, it ruined the experience.. I even double checked and the vents weren’t blowing.
The employees were sweating bullets, and clearly feeling uncomfortable, which only brings down moral and makes working extra difficult, as well as ruins the customer...
