    When Advertising Golden hour until 8pm, you commit to take order until that time. We arrived at 6pm ordered drinks and food and paid the check around 7:20pm. We decided to hang around some more and ordered 3 prossecos and crispy rice salmon at 7:34pm. The server indicated to us the golden hour was until 7pm. We asked to speak to the manager who hardly speaks English and confirmed despite showing the menu scanned from the table, that he was not allowing for us to take advantage of the specials. After insisting he said “ok I give you another 20 minutes!! We still paid full price on the drinks!!!!! Change your menu and get your people trained on how to make customers happy.
