    We were a party of 4, restaurant was almost empty except for 2 tables that had about 12 or more people. One group was celebrating a birthday and were having a ball and being very, very loud. We were seated next to them and asked to be moved so we could talk and hear each other. We were told all the tables were reserved, yet empty, and we couldn't be moved. When I made my reservation, they didn't ask me what table I wanted. Found it had to believe all those tables were specifically requested.

    The food was absolutely horrible. We barely ate the food and the taste was so bland and greasy. With the amount of money spent it’s might as well we went to a fancy restaurant in the city. The mash potatoes and sweet plantain was burned to a crisp and ribs were dry and couldn’t even chew properly. Do not order the ribs. Wouldn’t come back again and it was my first time today. The only thing that tasted good was the sprite with lemon that was ordered for the table.

    Very sorry you were not happy with the quality of the food. Generally if any guest has an issue we do our best to satisfy them. I am not sure if you mentioned that you were dissatisfied with a specific item to your server because we would have done our best to resolve the issue.

    Not really happy with the food. Wanted steak and shrimp fajita instead of chicken and shrimp and they would not accommodate.
