Rate the food a 5..but we received poor service..It was myself an a group of ladies out for my friend's Bachelorette Dinner..and we waited over 40 mins before the waiter took our order..to yet wait another 15-20mins after he discussed the menu with us..for him to leave us..then we wait another 15-20mins to receive our check after our dinner..If we had better service..which we all expected I would have rated this place 5 stars hand down!
