Food was great. Service was fair but not 5 star. Reason: the service my wife experienced was far superior because she went with people who knew the chef & maitre’d. Thus, the service was excellent in-spite of a long wait. Today (just for a table of two): 1. First course was not brought at the same time. 2.Table was not cleaned after main course. When politely requested, the matire’d obliged but not pleased (did it in a rude manner).

Gopi, I apologize if you felt our service was not up to our usual standard of delivery. My spirited manner to remove crumbs from your table was done quickly, as per your request. It was not attended to be rude. I will make sure your next experience with us goes without fail. Thank you for your visit and input. -- César

Our server seemed more interested in boasting about the special than our experience. We were told the Tuesday special was already “so discounted “ that no substitutions could be permitted. When we offered to pay it was permitted, but the attitude was not client forward

Every Tuesday, I join about 6 of my mates for the $25 USD Fried Chicken and Ribs dinner. While the restaurant is or has white table cloths and suchnits fine dining that is very approachable and not at all pretentious. The food is always the best and the service attentive .
