  • "Some food was too salty, other food was too ambitious, and believe it or not, some lacked seasoning completely."
  • "The food was sub par at best. I tried the special which was swordfish, over cooked and dry on the outside and extremely tough and raw on the inside."

  • "Owners were too busy socializing with their friends, instead of attending to the overworked kitchen and bartender drowning in orders."
  • "Staff was clearly untrained and disheveled, gross lack of management and training all around."
  • "Service was a bit slow."
  • "A woman at the bar was told he would be right with her twice and yet he did not."

  • "It was simply a dimly lit restaurant that was a bit out of the way."
  • "The bar area is in the restaurant, the tv with sports over the bar is inappropriate as it takes away from the ambiance they are trying to create."
  • "The noise level rises as the evening crowd arrives and is greater at the bar and back area."
  • "The ambiance of the restaurant left much to be desired; the dim lighting only served to enhance the gloomy atmosphere."
  • "None"
