The food has never been an issue here, as it is always great. However, whether I have been to this restaurant with 1 other person or 10 other people, whether it has been a busy night or a slow Tuesday, the service is ALWAYS bad. We ordered our drinks at 7pm and didn't receive them until 7:30. We didn't order any appetizers, but our food still took about 1 hour to receive. Our waitress would disappear periodically, and every time we would ask for a refill on our drinks it would take at least 10 minutes to get them. Our server was not knowledgeable, and did not seem as if she cared to make any money off of us. In fact, every time I have been to this restaurant our server has seemed more annoyed than happy to serve us. Our server spilled beer on one of the guests, and screwed up 2 of our orders - we didn't bother sending them back because it would have taken too long.

We waited for 3 hours, meanwhile enjoying a delicous strawberry dacquari, the best of my life. james had a beer. we were overlooked on the wait list, probably because yenny is much better looking than the other patrons. Once seated the eatables were reasonable but we were too tired to stay for much longer, and retired early to our hotel for a nightcap.

The service was terrible. The wait between placing our order and receiving our order was longer then it should have been in the middle of the afternoon when there weren't a lot of customers in the restaurant. Our waiter's shift ended halfway through our meal and no one was asked to take over our table, so we stared at empty plates for 20 minutes while waiters kept walking by us. We finally had to flag one down, and he didn't look too impressed. The food was good, but with so many other restaurants nearby, we probably won't be returning any time soon.

This is a decent enough place, but the food, the entire set-up, and the clientele screams of "girl's night out," replete with big-haired women sitting in the front window, sipping margaritas and comparing notes on every hottie that walked by. If that's what you're after... paydirt! If not, you might eat your standard fare and feel the need to leave sooner than later.

This was a trendy place trying to please all types of people. So it's not hard to believe that it has gotten a mediocre rating from myself. It was an average restaurant.
