  • "Went in without a reservation, the waiter at the door rolled his eyes and made the whole party feel unwelcome."
  • "Our server, Diandra, wasn't so polite. She mostly talked down to us."
  • "Our server (a tall thin woman) also had a bad attitude and seemed to want us to feel uncomfortable while we ordered with rude or condescending answers to our questions."
  • "We never got to try the food. We waited over 10 min and still not one single person came to check on us, no water, nothing."
  • "We were never provided with requested simple condiments such as salt, ketchup, hot sauce."

Food

Pros:

  • "The citrus vinaigrette was so, so tasty."

  • "Our food was delicious, except my husband chicken was too dry."
  • "Our entrees were not tasty at all."
  • "The buttermilk chicken was greasy with a god-awful lot of breading that had to be torn away."
  • "Then, some of the food was quite heavy and greasy."
  • "My salmon was cold and drenched in the sauce."
  • "We waited over an hour for food, to not only receive food with a hair in it but our 'fresh' French fries already had ketchup smeared on some of them."
