The food was good, service not so good. Our waitresses was not friendly, we had a very long wait for our food and we watched the manager go from table to table asking how the food was, if everything was ok, but never stopping at our table. We were visiting from Washington State and would order to go next time we are here.

The food was awesome however the service was rather unfair the low average if you will they were slow we were seated and it took about 15 maybe 20 minutes before I order was taken given that was a little crowd however we should have been acknowledged even in sitting there waiting to have our order taken but on the bright side once we got our food it was great
