Fathers day, Hostess said they were understaffed , had to wait an hour and 15 minutes for a table, food was good, waitress did a good job, went to leave and our car was blocked in by other cars, Manager tried to help, but it wasted another 1/2 hr of our day, fix the parking situation!

I heard a lot of good things about this place but I went in and was not even acknowledged or spoken to. Finally when I was the lady was very nice however the rest of the staff stood around and carried on personal convos, drinking their drinks while I waited for someone to take my money. On top of that I watched a kitchen staff ( female, blond hair, black shirt) chomp on food while working with food. She was eating away, talking all where you send out the to go orders. Somehow that just does not seem sanitary!
