    When we made the reservation, they did not tell us we would be sitting outside in an open air patio with no roof in 60-degree weather. With no heat. In Texas, this is too cold to eat outside without heaters. Our food was cold within minutes of being served. I mentioned it to the staff and they said they don't close the roof until it gets colder. They said they'd turn on the heat, but it did not happen. There was a cold wind on our table the entire meal. Most dishes were greasy meat dishes with little flavor. And the appetizers come with too many instructions from the waiter - "They're on a banana leaf. Pick them up with the banana leaf. But do not eat the banana leaf. But do not leave the banana leaf on the tray of shells they are served in." Why do 1-bite appetizers come with so many instructions about what NOT to do? I left cold, exhausted, and irritated. I would have left before the meal, but I was entertaining guests for work.
