    Everything was fine until the very end when the manager or someone came up and asked us to leave bc there’s a 2 hour time limit for dinner. We were there celebrating a birthday, hadn’t finished dessert yet or even got our check. It was extremely rude and had never had that happen before. How are we supposed to leave when the waitress hasn’t even given us the check yet. I’ll never go back. So rude

    Smallest portion of swordfish I’ve ever seen. It was so thin I don’t know how they could serve it with a straight face. I thought I was being punked or impractical jokers were going to come out. Unfortunately it wasn’t a joke to them.
