Meal was average not as good as prior. Ordered hand cut French fries and they came with a heavy coating of parsley on them. Asked for a piece of cheese cake to go and when placing it in refrigerator at home noticed that it was burnt on top and the crust was black. Am a VIP member and was very disappointed for my guest’s.
