I've never seen EMPLOYEES be able to get away with attacking a man on the "PUBLIC SIDEWALK" for video taping, however I hope your business has suffered for their actions! Where was the manager and why did he/she allow those "THUGS" to act like unprofessional jerks! It's a good thing I wasn't there, things would've gotten real bad, real quick! Every employee on duty that day should have been ARRESTED and FIRED! I hope it was worth it!
Great service. Potatoes were dry and underwhelming.
Honestly, the food is pretty excellent, creative, and novel. Very fun to eat and tasty. The prices are a bit nuts though and the portions are faaar too large for stuff that's not gonna reheat well. $8 for two small links of sausage that happens to have some rosemary in it? Jeez. Service is also pretty middling and inattentive for the cost as well. Will probably keep us from coming back compared to other places.
