I did have a small problem today. Last visit I was told the seafood Cocktail needed to be ordered 1 hour in advance. So I call today in adance, the person on the phone said they didn't have that anymore. So I go there and told the waitress I'll have the seafood soup as the seafood cocktail is no longer available. She said yes it is, and checked with the kitchen staff. It even sounded like it didn't need the 1 hour advance to order. Today though I still got the seafood soup since I hadn't had it before.

The waitress failed to ask or provide refills of our drinks. She was nowhere to be found during our meal. I Had to yell for her and then wait 5 minutes for her to make her way to the front so I could pay. There is no air conditioning in the building we ate our meal in a 90 degree room and will not be going back. Read more Read less

Waitress was way too quick to ask for our order, and then was very inattentive after the meal was delivered. Running out of water is a bad thing in a restaurant with spicy food. The food took an unusually long time to arrive. Otherwise, it was a good experience. Read more Read less

I anticipate the order will be freshly made after I order and accept the time it takes to do so. I also accept that there will only be 1 (friendly, great) waitress. It is well worth the wait! It is not a place to go if you're in a hurry. Sit back, relax and enjoy! Read more Read less

Service was unusually slow this evening.

Menu is pared down from what it used to be, which is fine. Appetizers outshine entree items. Once again, we didn't appreciate the "eye rolling" & obvious displeasure from the waitstaff that we were a party of 7. A family of 6 was seated without the drama that we were. For that reason, I will not go there after work with a group again. Read more Read less

Two items we ordered were not available, service was slow, and food was OK, not great.
