Worst service ever! As we walked to the podium to check in, the hostess took a phone call and we were forced to stand there for several minutes (long enough for four people to try to get by us, because their hosting stand is placed in the worst possible location). Once the phone call was over, we gave our name and the hostess looked at her book for some time, highlighting various things before finally showing us to the table. It was approximately 20 minutes before a waitress came and took our drink order. She took our dinner order and we ordered an appetizer of bread service, because they charge for that, which we never received. I had to eat some snacks from my purse because I was starving, and we considered leaving, but our food finally came as we were standing up to leave, about 30-35 minutes after ordering. Our food was only OK, not disgusting, but not particularly noteworthy, certainly not worth the exorbitant prices. We were provided butter knives to cut our meat! We wolfed down our food as we were starving by this time, and our waitress never returned. My husband went to the bathroom and ran into the waitress and asked for our check. She said she would be right there, but, par for the course, never returned, so we went to the front and were told that she had to leave because of a family emergency. We were to believe that in the time it took for my husband to use the bathroom, about 2 minutes, she received the news that she had a family emergency, decided she had to leave precipitously, communicated with the other staff the remaining needs for her tables, and left. My husband forgot to check if we were charged for the bread service because we were in such a hurry to leave, but I am sure that the charge was tacked on. I would not be surprised if there was also a charge for the water. Just a dismal experience, would not recommend unless you really enjoy terrible service and mediocre food. If that 's your jam, this place is for you!
