    Food was absolutely terrible and the lack of flexibility to make a pizza that was half cheese and half a topping was quite strange. Waitress was also not willing to make special accomodations for young children. If going to an event near the DCU, stay away unless just having drinks, definitely get food prior to coming to this area.

    We were in the igloo, which was very cozy and comfortable and made it a really fun experience. Xavier provided excellent service. Made for a fun afternoon and the pizza , rice bowl and Japanese fried chic sand were all delicious and very shareable.

    I told him I didn’t wanna be sat near the kitchen or the bathroom and the eventually put us there telling us that’s the only table that’s available, but there was more available and not only that we felt like we were being rushed out. I had a better time at Ruth Chris next-door, I’ve received I more respect and with dignity and felt more appreciated next-door than at this restaurant.
