                                                  Our server was created excellent! Our 4 entress were so delicious. Our only concern was the flan we ordered for dessert. It was served hot like it was heated up in a microwave. I have always had flan setved cold. Although the presentation of the flan was very pretty, the portion was very small for $10.50.

                                                  I have been to the restaurant multiple times and usually the food is well prepared and deserving of a B+ to A rating. That was not the case this evening. We ordered the beet salad, crab cakes and 2 orders of the risotto. The crab cakes were decent but the risotto was anything but. It resembled overcooked rice more than risotto. The addition of shrimp (overcooked) and grilled chicken (overcooked and very dry) did not help. I have had their risotto before but whatever changes they have implemented to the recipe or the preparation are a big miss.

                                                  We felt our waitress was neglecting us due to age and what we had ordered (We ordered sandwiches instead of meals. My husband ordered a beer, I ordered a soda (I’m pregnant)). And when we ordered our drinks and food, she gave us a nasty look both times. Almost like a “that’s it’s.. you’re kidding me” kinda look. She barely checked on us or asked if we needed anything (Both my husband and I could have used refills on our drinks but figured it wasn’t worth the ask). She paid more attention to her other tables and had full blown conversations with them (They were older folks). The food was delicious but again service was horrible. Even the hostess looked like she hated her job. To say we would go back, doubtful.
