Value

Cons:

  • "I was charged a $20 cover charge to eat at a restaurant! This is ridiculous."
  • "The food was overpriced but it was good."
  • "Way overpriced for the portion of food I received, and it wasn't that good at all."
  • "The food wasn’t served for nearly 2.5 hrs and the rice wasn’t cooked all the way."
  • "We order the specialty mimosas not realizing they were not part of the the bottomless mimosas deal so our bill was over $160 for two people (gratuity was added to the bill) I guess that's why our waitress service was subpart definitely not worth the added tip."
