Value for Money
Pros:

Cons:
"This type of doing business is unfair and predatory."
"The overall consensus among our group of 12 was that this place is overhyped and overpriced."
"They charged us tax and tip based on the original price of the dinner for two making the total dinner the same full price without the prefix discount!"
"They offered a Pulsed deal which was a bait-and-switch type of thing and charged us almost double the amount by basing a mandatory tip off of the largest possible amount we could have spent (but did not)."
"The items in bill was priced higher and also they added 20% gratuity automatically."
"Found them on FEVER with a $59 deal, dinner for 2 people plus wine, however when you arrive at the (empty) restaurant you're told you need to pay an extra $35 for service and tax."
"The portions are VERY small so please keep that in mind before you place an order."

"Feels like you're in a college bar where you're forced to listen to loud, blaring music at all parts of your meal."
"The place plays loud music and so not really a place to have an intimate conversation."
"An overly loud speaker system, that somehow they feel the need to turn the bass up all the way."
"The music was also deafeningly loud."
"They misbehaved and i had the worse experience of my entire life here."
