Reviews
Throughout the meal, the same staff member appeared impatient and even rude when we asked basic questions about the menu. The overall service lacked warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism.
I would not recommend this restaurant based on the unwelcoming atmosphere and the condescending attitude of the staff.
