Great food, mediocre service. Ordered 2 types of hot appetizers which were great but brought no plates. 

Business response:

We appreciate your feedback. We would have happily replaced those meat pies for you if you would have mentioned this to your waitress. We definitely don't want our guests having to eat food that was not cooked properly. Hopefully you won't let the missing plates and appetizer mishap keep you guys from visiting with us again. :)
